AWESOME game with just a few minor issues
By Spyrall X
I bought this game randomly, with no idea what it was, and it quickly became a family favorite. The play style is similar to Trivial Pursuit, in that you earn colored stones for answering questions in specific categories, but there are several differences, including the type of questions. The questions are very cool - visual puzzles, anagrams, even math puzzles where they don't tell you the numbers, they just give you hints. Another difference is that you can challenge other players and "steal" their stones.There are a few minor problems with the game though, relatively easy to ignore or fix. A couple of the questions (just a couple!) relate specifically to the online game that inspired this, so if you've never played that, you won't know what they are talking about. Easy fix - ignore these questions! Second, the playing pieces are 4 boring cubes in rather unappealing colors that were sometimes hard to tell apart. I simply replaced them with miniature Star Wars figurines and/or the figurines from the game Hero Scape. This makes choosing a piece much more fun (and we aren't limited to 4 players anymore, so we modified the rules to accommodate up to 8 people ("stealing" stones from other players becomes a must.))The most important issue you NEED to be aware of: not all of the answers given on the cards are correct! We have found several incorrect answers in various categories, though I believe the most common category is the yellow one. Don't just assume the answers are right - double check. We've been correcting the wrong ones with a black pen, as neatly as possible.As I said, these issues are rather minor overall. I get the impression that production was rushed, hence the boring playing pieces and the incorrect answers, but the game is still awesome. We've played so often, we've memorized some of the answers, so I'm always hoping they will put out new card sets in the future!

Love this board game of puzzles and brain teasers. You actually have to think, instead of just memorizing trivia facts. Expand your horizons - buy this game.
