Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 4.4/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
