Review

This game is an excellent game for beginner language learners. If you’re looking to practice your ability to form basic statements and questions, or looking to practice numbers, this game could be a great place to start. None of the mechanics are complicated, which means that anyone, regardless of familiarity with board games, can jump in and learn to play in a couple of minutes. You also get to practice other fun skills, like memory and deduction! This game also offers a few ways from within it to personalise your experience, and I would encourage testing out different sets of rules to make your gameplay more engaging and varied. All-in-all, a great starter game, both in a language and in a wider “board game familiarisation” sense.
