• @CanonNi: Cool choice in article! Reviewing this both as a fan of the game and having written a boardgame article before. So, this passes newness, length, sourcing, neutrality, and QPQ. I spot two issues with it, though:
  1. Both images in § Gameplay are freely licensed, but appear to be derivative works of the boardgame art itself. Unless the game's art is also freely licensed, these images are copyright violations.
  2. § Reception does not mention any critical reception, even though the article cites multiple reviews. WP:DYKCOMPLETE's example of an incomplete article is one on a book missing a plot summary, and this is essentially the flipside of that.
• As to the hooks, ALT0 is cited, interesting, and appears in the article. ALT1 does not appear in the article, slightly misrepresents the source (the "basically" in there is important hedging we can't just delete), and I don't think is that interesting or unique, since many products have thematic reskins. So I've struck ALT1. I'm happy to approve ALT0 if the two issues above are addressed, though. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 05:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
• @Tamzin: thanks for the review! Very sorry for the late reply - been busy with Chinese New Year and other stuff IRL (which finally ends today). I've expanded the reception section, removed the images, and started a deletion request for them on Commons. Happy to fix any remaining issues. Thanks!

  • Thanks! That resolves my concerns. I also forgot to check for copyvio above, but I see nothing on Earwig's, and nothing jumps out as close para. So I think this is good to run. Let me know if you're ever looking for someone to play the game with! -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 21:14, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
