Really cute game! There was a bit that was slow near the beginning, but once I got past that, it's been great! I wish I could turn off the ability to choose the starting dishes, though. I preferred the random selection. Science does add some of that variability back in though.
It seems that in a lot of my fights, my best tactic is not to summon allies and not to attack. But, of course, my hand is full of allies, and I have no choice but to attack.
What an entertaining casual game! It requires no huge mental effort, but has some strategy to make it satisfying, and there's something very relaxing about watching the battles just happen.
A wonderfully fun game, hamstrung by the lack of readable instructions. Took my entire first game to understand how to bank, and I'm still not certain what clicking on a die does!
