Evan8.5 This is a really thrilling dexterity game where you place differently shaped and weighted items in the spokes of this wheel. The rules for placement encourage the wheel to roll in one specific direction, and if any previously placed bits fall off, you have to claim them. The goal is to get rid of your pieces first. There is so much wonderful tension in this game and interesting choices about how and what your next placement will be. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::star::star::star::star: Raw enjoyment
Always love a good dexterity game and this one is really fun. Components look great and I can see this being an awesome drinking game. Too much shelf space for my collection but would definitely play again
