Your lack of willingness to smack the tree with the gavel made me chuckle 😂

[@martinochiacchiera9615]

Thanks for your honest review Tom! :-)

[@CreakyTableGames]

Your game looks amazing and I'm glad to see you welcome feedback. Best of luck!

[@thomgizziz]

Well your game is getting a lot of hype, it may not do well in the long run but in the short term you should get good sales.

Literally my issue with Mice and Mystics. I've now played scenario 1 about 5 times, once years ago, then again a couple years after that, then 3 times in a row a few months ago. I said "dude, can we please just skip scenario 1 or can we give ourselves some extra advantage?" he wanted to keep trying it AND trying to do the thing that makes it harder to get something that you'll use later. We always lose in that room. I even said "dude, I don't think I want to play this again cause I don't want to do scenario 1 over and over". We did it 1 more time and can say I won't play the game again.

Sounds like the game could do with a re-balance, especially if it is for young children. Even something like replacing a miss with a crit (2x damage) or something. And having more pages with more routes. Win go to B, lose, go C instead and don't see B this go. Or choose between 2 objectives to complete on each map, do objective A go to map B, do objective C, go to map D. With these types of games, more is generally better.

I’m choosing from Mice and Mystics, Stuffed fables and Wonder Book. What would you recommend? (Kids are 5+ and 8+)

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

I still enjoy Choose Your Own Adventure books. But, they suffer from the same "Groundhogs Day" syndrome.

[@stefoehmen]

tmnt shadows of the past fixes that problem because it has more levels and you advance differently based on if you won or lost you don't have to re-do the level

[@tomasxfranco]

feels like there should be a couple more pages/maps in the book

[@martinochiacchiera9615]

As Tom stated, there are other pop-ups hidden in it ;-)

[@Kuptain]

It definitely has enough to offer.

Am I the only one who actually wants spoilers in his reviews? If you actually must then put a spoiler tag on it but it's much more interesting to hear the reviewers thoughts when it can be backed up by actual examples.

[@JDalkinn]

I like the spoilers, even if they are said as much. I'm generally indifferent to the presence of spoilers, especially in games I will probably never play but then I have a better understanding of the nuances in case my assumption is wrong. As an example, I really liked the Seafall spoilery review because of the specific examples. I will probably not play Seafall anyway, but it helps understand why it didn't go over well.

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

Those do not look like wryms.

Rolling 2 misses into 2 misses into a reroll miss doesn't happen 50% of the time. Rolling 2 misses alone is already a 25% chance, let alone 5 out of 5 dice. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen that much. ;)
