Review Quotes:

"Having a large mixture of different spaces within the game kept each turn from feeling stale or repetitive." —Dan

"It has both a unique theme and mechanics and I think the creators implemented the pieces they chose creatively. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into it, especially on the board itself." —Clarissa

"First, the theme of the game is great which is about wanderers surviving in extreme environment. This reminds me of the moment of playing Minecraft when I was a kid." —Yanbo
