Never played Croquet before, puzzle design is incredible and makes for some really interesting puzzles. I didn’t get very much into the meta puzzles, but I overall enjoyed playing through the game!
Btw, hint system is awesome.
If you've got a back yard I 100% recommend picking up one of those $40 croquet sets from Walmart or something. It's such a fun game because it has just the right mixture of skill, randomness, and rivalry. You would also pick up the rules pretty quick because the real game uses most of the same rules as this game does (2 shots max, wickets give +1 shot, balls give +2 shots and let you put your ball next to them, etc.)
