I played this with a friend and had a lot of fun doing that. It seems like it's going to be very simple and then patterns and ideas come out in play and it's really really cool. Playing it with a boardgame fiend we both had an urge to complexify it and add 200 different mechanics, and I might still do that for fun! but I think the simplicity in this game is really powerful, and helps get across ideas about cycles of connected life in a way that's really easy to just start playing. Hopefully I can play this some more!
