Mars Open: Tabletop Golf Review

Fantastic review!

Great review, I was expecting a higher overall score but your explanation shows why. I LOVE games that are about moments and this one looks to provide plenty of those. I'm in.

Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing this game but ultimately passed. I loved miniature golf as a kid and even had free access to a local minigolf for a period. When it comes to minigolf you do get better with practice but you're still just putting all the time and that's it. It gets old.

Thanks. Three stars is a good, fun game, well worth your time and money. To get four or more it needs to be outstanding: much as I've enjoyed the moments with Tabletop Golf, I'm not sure it's varied enough for more than three.

Slightly different to Pete's ratings

Most of the initial reactions I've seen have been along the lines of "OMG! This is amazing, get it now!" I was happy to see your review went beyond the initial glee of playing and addressed the long term playability.
