Among the games, one stands out with its garish pink box and cheap cartoon art. I pick it up, see that it's a tabletop golf game and images of cheap executive toys flit across my brain. I put Mars Open: Tabletop Golf to one side. There are far more interesting, and interestingly coloured, games in this selection to look at.

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.
