The Alpha
It took me a long time to finish this review because, even working with my “bubble” players (which consists of an almost unheard of six players due to my kids and extended family residing with me), I didn't feel it was getting a proper chance. All of the parts were, theoretically, there but they didn't click for us. Running larger player counts helped because of the additional contention for limited prey spaces. In the end, agreeing it was “A Light Strategy Game” that could live or die by dice rolls was the result. It never really achieved what I, personally, wanted from it but it did deliver on it's promise of “A Light Strategy Game.” One that can be “Pretty Cool” if you simply take it for what it is.
