4 From a Gamer's Wife Posted by Mary-Celeste on Sep 6th 2018

Coming from someone who, after one negative experience, started out the relationship declaring that I would never play another abstract strategy game with my now-husband . . . I liked it. I actually bought it. I ducked in for some of the SUSD review my husband was watching and thought the tiles were pretty so I got it for his birthday. And I only got a *little* angry and frustrated when he was explaining the rules and scoring procedures to me. I'm no mental slouch--I'm bilingual, I write novels, and I have a college degree. And I can regularly school him in at least half of the games we own. But I did think the way scoring was described in the manual was just a little fuzzy. It was a frustrating first playthrough, but they often are. Once we get more used to it, I think it's a game we'll enjoy and get better at for years to come. As long as we don't eat all those adorable little tiles up first!
