Who it's for

Euro gamers who loved the original Marco Polo or enjoy asymmetric dice placement. Best at 3-4 players who appreciate varied strategies and tight competition.

Not for you if…

Some character powers feel stronger than others, which can frustrate balance-minded players. Dice luck occasionally overrides strategy.
