Played this game tonight with a couple of friends; it fits perfectly into a 2-hour time frame, and I enjoy the mix of playing competitive Blackjack and coming up with scenes for the players. I think the resolution mechanic really really fits the themes of this game. I also think this is really really good for a small game night!
Great to hear you enjoyed the game! Thanks for the wonderful review!
