Oh It's a... Pickle?
When I first saw the game I laughed out loud because all I saw when I opened the box it came in, was a strange looking pickle staring up at me. I think the concept is definitely... interesting to say the least. I really enjoyed the little restaurant theme on the front of the jar with the checkers and I loved the plate aspect that came along with it. Once again the instructions were very simple and easy to understand which I appreciate. The first play through was a little chaotic because everyone was learning the game. I like how the pickle has a little weight so it falls right into its little jar and I also like the fact that there is a specific rule if the pickle accidentally falls on the table, or in my case the floor, and what to do when that happens. I was wondering, however, if some type of rule could be added for when/if the pickle thief takes the plate instead of the pickle and the person who is supposed to take the plate takes the pickle, but all at the same time. Does the pickle thief get the safe stack or does the other person? Or does the person who didn't get anything get the safe stack? The second play through went a lot more smoothly and I enjoyed the suspense as each card was being flipped over. Overall a great game that will defiantly grab attention.
