Why It's On The List

• Bag-building and whimsy combined to produce an easy-to-teach press-your-luck game that has been 100% successful with everyone I've introduced it to.

Tips & Tricks:

• You need to look at what powers are available - and remember that you can't do everything.
• Not worrying about scoring for the first couple of rounds is sometimes worth it for the rat-tail catch-up mechanic.

Extras

• I like both of the expansions... though they make the game a little trickier to teach and get into for new players. I'd recommend you wait on Herb Witches and/or Alchemists until everyone at the table has a game or two under their belts.
• I have two nifty add-on things for my Quacks collection - the splendid GeekUp Bits tokens (seen in the picture) thanks to a very good friend (King Bob!)... and the Folded Space organizer.
• This is the second of two games designed by Wolfgang Warsch on the countdown.
