What players say

Players compare it to Oregon Trail with the Black Death, but many say it's too short and expensive for what it offers. The game is buggy, especially the end turn button, and some find it too easy after one trial run while others find it hard. There's heart and good writing here, but most recommend waiting for a deep sale.
