Inner Compass

Not really a bad game, because it has good component quality, good ideas and it can be more than a nice game with a few adjustments. Speaking of which, there are a few remarks that I have a after a game of 4 players. You can interpret your actions to add to the theme with a bit of effort, but the theme is not integrated well enough in this abstract game - by the second half of the game we stopped seeing emotions and started to only see colors. Secondly, colors.: that dark blue is waaay to dark. Thirdly - theme related (as if it would matter - there are 5 emotions in the game, three of them are anger, depression and fear, why not put 3 nice ones if the theme is not that blended in?). Also, there is a bit of randomness related to the card drawing. If you try to plan in this game you will loose. You have to be oportunistic, and go in any direction that is available when it has a high reward.
