Pico Topia

I don't like 'reviewing' games that I haven't played for very long, but I found little beyond frustration and boredom in my time with the game. Unlike other games of this form such as Islanders and Pan'orama, there is very little 'explanation' for the points scored and why they're scored the way they are (or why they lose points in the way they do). Having a fail state of losing 4 points seems really restrictive as well, as very little that I placed actually scored any points, while it seemed to be super easy to lose points. The high contrast art style is nice for a moment, but becomes distracting and gets in the way after a while and the music became really quite repetitive in a short period of time. I would say to spend the money this would cost on either Islanders or Pan'orama - both are far more superior games of this form and genre.

Good game, would recommend
