Who it's for

Couples and pairs who want a meaty, interactive two-player trading game with room for tactical meanness.

Not for you if…

You mainly game in bigger groups, since this is strictly two-player, or you dislike direct sabotage from your opponent.

Vibe's take

Tight and combative, a back-and-forth of clever deals and small sabotages where you and one opponent constantly parry.
