Does this mean a person can play alone?** A: YES! The solo play version is REALLY GREAT!!! The solo games last about 10 to 15 minutes each, and you basically play to get a high score (they have a small chart to rate your score) and it is VERY challenging and fun. The way the cards are set up, you get a different set of challenges each time so each game is unique. I find it very diverting because the play takes full concentration and focus. Also, the game itself is so very high quality which also makes it a pleasure to play. I love to play games “anytime” in my downtime (meaning not depending on coordinating with other people) so a really well crafted solo option is really appreciated. **Q: Where is it manufactured? Thanks** A: Everything available on this (and every other) board game is on the BGG website (Board Game Geek). In general, I believe the publisher decides the manufacturer and is probably dependent on print run. I don’t know where this one was manufactured. **Q: would color blind kids have hard time with this?** A: Perhaps not. There is no resource that it is green. There is a Brick red, grey, yellow, blue, and I think that's it. Best bet is to find a picture of the resource cubes on the web, and show it to color blind kids. I'm not color blind, so I'm not a good resource to answer this question. **Q: Can my intelligent 7 year old granddaughter learn to play and enjoy this game?** A: Yes but keep it to 2, 3 players. The more players the less control you have, the tougher the game, it can be a brain burner, it’s somewhat a puzzle. The box says 14 plus, but if you scale it back player wise, same age players, it should be OK. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game for people of all ages *by on Reviewed in South Africa May 19, 2025* Great Game that has been a fantastic addition to the collection, minor scuff mark on outer box on delivery but otherwise perfect ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jeu simple et fun *by on Reviewed in France February 11, 2025* J'ai entendu parlé de ce jeu car c'est un jeu qui peut se jouer seul ou à plusieurs. C'est un jeu mignon, et plutôt fun. Le système de cartes permet que chaque parties soient différentes. ### ⭐ Zeer zeer slecht *by on Reviewed in the Netherlands February 16, 2021* Bestelling meer dan 2 maanden onderweg.
