This game is very fun, I wasn't sure what to expect as I have fond memories of the original game. But it's super addictive. Played with some friends for most of the evening and it was funny as! Got pretty competitive.
Decent price for what you get, very modern update on an old game. Quite surprised that this is an indy game considering how much work must have gone into it. If you are looking for a game for a bunch of mates to get pretty competitive together, grab it and give it a go.
Definitely recommend, especially for this price.
