Mitchell C2.5 Just wasn't for me. Didn't really feel like there were many interested choices or much interesting player interaction in this one.
Tom5.9 The unusual theme mixed with a quick playing time makes this an easy game to get to the table. Players who normally don't like auction games in which one must bid correctly every time or lose will enjoy this one as it has a lighter feel. Still, even though the game is short and it has a fluffier taste, It's Alive still offers enough strategic choices to appeal to strategy gamers. And the thrill of shouting, "It's alive!" adds several points in and of itself. See my review for more details...
