Seems simple learning the rules but very deep once you actually play once.

Watch Game Boy Geek review. The wife loves the game, but has not found a way to beat me yet..

It's a great game. You put down tiles on the board, and on your turn you swap tiles, start scoring chains, and flip tiles. It's a simple game but there's a lot of possiblities for interesting gameplay here. I really enjoy this game but... The game comes with a bag and a playmat and both are bad. REALLY bad. The bag is made of some kind of horrible burlap-like material. The mat is super thin, scratchy material that comes with massive ugly creases in it. Even worse it's horribly faded and covered in gross detritus residue. Washing the mat, when it's wet it looks like it's supposed to (like it looks in product description). In real life it's so faded it's barely useable, and just really REALLY ugly. Really sad that such a nice game has such subpar materials. I don't think people are going to take this game seriously unless there's a more deluxe release that isn't so ugly and has much MUCH better production quality.
