Upsides:
- It has a slightly different game mechanic where you stack transparent cards on each other. These cards tell a story about how your characters day is going.
- To win, you try to ruin your characters' days ending in an untimely death. If you've had a bad day this can be somewhat cathertic.
- There's a good balance: the more negatives you add to your characters are, the harder it is to stay ahead.
- The character designs have a lot of flavor. We have the Cthulhu version, and if you know Lovecraft, you'll understand the little sayings on the cards, etc.
Downsides:
I honestly don't know what to put here. We really like the game. Looking forward to more expansions.
