The verdict
A cozy, wordless story told by unpacking one woman's belongings across her life. Skip it if you want free decorating or won't pay $20 for 3-5 hours.
Great for
Players who want a calm, cozy organizing game with a touching story, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Only 3-5 hours with little replay value, and placement rules feel arbitrary, so full price stings
