Gestión de recursos con colocación de trabajadores en un rondel en el que el trabajador que coloques realizará una acción principal (que tendrá una "intensidad" variable en función e los ratones que apoyen la acción) y una acción secundaria. Es un juego de la escuela italiana , muy combero. Muy chulo y recomendable, aunque orientado a jugones. A los no jugones les puede parecer complejo o confuso.

Primera partida a dos jugadores. Reglas sencillas y mecánicas muy buenas.

This game is extremely unbalanced. The exploration part seems cool but it was impossible to meet the conditions in order to complete any mission. Too tight, a lots of things you could do but you cannot do. So it does not make sense at all. I would never play this game again.

Normas muy liosas para lo sencillo que es después el juego. Muy bonito estéticamente, solo jugué una partida y se me hicieron difíciles de entender las cartas pero por internet hay PDF de gente explicandolas

Euro de colocación de trabajadores. Interesantes mecánicas con la opción de potenciar acciones con las ratas. Sólo 15 turnos por lo que exige una buena optimización. A nivel de diseño muy bonito, entra por los ojos. Por lo demás, otro euro más de estrujarte el cerebro intentado optimizar lo mejor posible pero si ya tienes mucho de este estilo, no creo que sea imprescindible
