About this game

It’s a thin line between good and evil, and you’re going to have to find the right balance and avoid ending up In Limbo! Play your cards on either the good or evil side of each of the five colors, as you tip the balance towards good on some colors and bad on others. However, since you only score on the cards left in your hand, you’ll need to carefully weigh the consequences of each of your choices. With a lot of strategy and a little luck, you can do yourself a world of good even if things heat up for your opponents.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
