Final Thoughts

Sometimes, a simple dice chucker can be a a lot of fun. I definitely didn’t feel like I had much control or choice in this game, but it was fun to just roll some dice and see how many points you could get. It was also funny to watch some players get really lucky and make out with a whole bunch of points every round, while others couldn’t roll even 1 number they needed.

My issue came with the fact that the game can last a bit too long. If you continually roll the same face(s) on the moon die, you don’t get closer to the end of the game – you need to turn over all the potions for it to end, and that’s also just left up to chance. But, turns move quickly, and as long as you go into it with the right mindset of a very light and lucky game, you can still have some fun with it. Plus, it has some really great art/dice!
