Rezensionen

"Schon seit jeher sind mir vier- und mehrseitige A4-Spielanleitungen ein Graus. Freundlicherweise ersparen uns die AutorInnen diesen 'K(r)ampf'. Die Anleitungen sind exakt so lang, wie sie sein müssen und so kurz, dass man/frau sie verstehen und sich merken kann." -- Annette Hexelschneider, Dezember 2010
