Hey everyone.

I got the steam game on a sale some time ago. Now my wife is playing it a lot more than me through family share. Her birthday is coming up and I'm thinking about getting the game for her as it also won Spiel des Jahres this year.

Have any of you played the game? I'd be happy to hear any experiences you want to share.

Thanks for the reply, you mentioned some things I did not think about before.

Honestly, it’s a one player game that you can play cooperatively.

Sounds like playing the PC game with someone backseat gaming over your shoulder.

Sort of, yeah, but I think it’s in how you play it. We alternate who draws the tiles and gets first crack at placement (and ultimately final decision). That keeps the game from becoming too one sided. I never felt like it was backseat gaming.
