Review: Bought to play solo - I have bought this game to play solo. I have many board games. But the puzzle style really interests me. So it's a Christmas present I'm really looking forward to. And how difficult you want the game to be can be adjusted. I'm hoping there will be expansions for it too. Maybe set in Britain... at night... with phantom trains. There goes my imagination again. Roll on Christmas 🤶 After receiving this pressie a couple of days early I can say it's not too easy at all. At first I thought so, but another look at the rules proved I was playing it slightly wrong. The time deck it's reshuffled! And this deck can be shortened making the the game as difficult as you want it to be.
Review: Fun co operative game. - Unlike pandemic or pandemic fall of Rome, this is a cooperative game that is not ruined by complex and illogical rules. So all the players have fun, and are not upset by rules that make little sense. As the players are all the same, with no playing roles. So while Player roles can be good, as in pandemic, or obtuse as in fall of Rome. But in both cases, alpha players, taking on parts of roles outside their remit, that can ruin the game for others, trying to play a role always. As the rules are simple and logical in this game players can quickly enjoy the game from the start. The parts are not fiddly and easy to place on the board. The art work is good and clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good cooperative board game
*by F***H on 4 October 2023*

A fun cooperative game to challenge you. It’s worth spending some time to properly understand the rules but they’re not overly complex. The random chance involved kept it challenging and engaging over multiple back to back plays.
