@ 2ndzenith:
Hey, The stacking is the ability of that tile, it “replaces” another tile.
We won’t be looking at games other then Board Games… for now.

Interesting looking game. I think I missed how players stack tiles on other tiles, which looked like it was happening in the video. The player scoring tokens look like they could use more visual difference to ease scoring. Overall looks fun.
There’s an app for that. Will you cover any board games in the digital realm? The iphone/ipad are huge markets with many board games being ported over.

Great review. I’ve always wondered what this game was like. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
