Too random for me submitted by bfields on February 27, 2022, 11:29am It's all very pretty and atmospheric, but it just didn't work for me. It comes down to one player trying to communicate to another which of several cards they're thinking of, using only another set of cards as hints. The cards in question all have a *lot* of details, and I just found it too hard to separate the signal from the noise--there wasn't a single case where I felt like my guess was better than completely random.

We also played Dixit, which is kind of a similar guessing game, but for some reason that game worked.

I don't know, it could be just me. The people I was playing with didn't seem quite as frustrated.

3/5 submitted by Morgsush on June 16, 2022, 2:27am this one can be a bit hard to understand, and honestly the ghost to have played the game before or else it's quite hard reading & explaining the rules at the same time.

A Fun Twist on Clue submitted by mgabbieb on July 22, 2022, 1:04pm Its almost like Clue but with some twists. A player uses beautiful though abstract illustrations to communicate with other players what their assigned person, place and object are. There are some details, pieces and rules in the game that feel redundant or unnecessary. But I thought it was fun and the vision cards are so cool to look at.

Great game, but library set seems to be missing pieces submitted by robinfowler on August 17, 2022, 9:54pm And it's really confusing/frustrating when pieces are missing.

But played this at a friend's house, and it's a great game.

Worth trying submitted by samuelbs on July 18, 2023, 10:28pm 2–7 Players. Interesting game that relies on interpretation of visual cards. It was worth trying, but I'd rather play Dixit.
