Played this at a friend’s house and will order my own copy of it from amazon. It’s superficially similar to Blokus, but it’s really its own thing. Pieces fit together well and it looks reasonably durable.
Game play? It’s easy to get up and running with the game in just a couple of minutes. But the strategy to be good at the game is quite intensive. We found it to be quite addictive as new ideas for new strategies percolated. Friendly and playable by both kids and adults. The game recommendation of age eight to adult seems reasonable to me. I’m sure my ten year old daughters will be interested in this game.
Time will tell if this game really catches on, I think it’s new for the holiday season of 2009. But it has great potential for being a classic game. Easy to learn but hard to master as the box says.

This is a really cool game that I found at my local game store. I thought it would be like Blokus but it’s different. What I like best is the scoring track is right on the board and the shapes are really unique. I’ve never seen shapes like this before and they fit together really well. You score points by making circles and stars. It looks really easy but it requires some careful planning. It’s a great balance of luck and strategy. Everything is well made and the box is really eye-catching. This is a great family game!
