This was a super interesting experience. I had to figure out the basics of the game even though the explanation was there, but not enough for me. But I would not say, that the manual had to be longer because then I would maybe not have red it all about. And I like it really much, if some gets some basic rules and have to discover and figure out how those rules can be applied. But after all and after I think 4 or 5 tries I ended up with a very bright flame, a game finalization with a score of 94 and a lot of fun. Super cool mechanic, super cool realization. Props go up high on this game. I loved it!
