The verdict
A chaotic, violent Mario Party-style game that shines with a group of friends and workshop mods. Skip it if you dislike heavy RNG or lack people to play with.
Great for
Friend groups who enjoy chaotic, competitive, trash-talking game nights and local multiplayer
Main risk
Heavy RNG and rough minigames feel unfair or repetitive, and it's pointless without friends

Steam's recent score (83%) is below the all-time 89%. Recent negatives mention the devs abandoning the game, repetitive minigames and RNG frustration. Evidence is thin.
