I'm not sure how much of a classic this game will turn out to be or whether it will have a long shelf life or disappear from FFG's catalog by next year. I was very dubious about it myself. But...

A friend of mine runs a game store and one afternoon when I dropped in to see him, he had me sit down and play this game. I have to admit I was bitten. It's really a lot of fun, particularly if you like dexterity games. It drew me in in a way I hadn't expected (I'm more of a cerebral srategy game player). And while my kids are grown up, I can see where it would be a wonderful game for youngsters (not too young, though; the magnetic eggs, while large, could still be a problem if put into a child's mouth). So I actually think FFG has a winner here, surprising as this game seems when compared to Adroid, Tide of Iron, Starcraft, Arkham Horror, and other similar weighty FFG offerings.

And it makes an excellent solitaire puzzle!

I know this thread is getting old, but this is a great game for what it is trying to be: inexpensive, entertaining, fast, and family friendly. I can see this game being carried in Targets or at least being published for years.

How much is the game? And how many people can play at a time?

It's about $15 dollars, is good for the family, especially with young kids, and takes about 10 minutes to play. You get money's worth pretty quickly.
