Ima go on a little bit of a rant here...
First off, I was super excited to see these mint tins show up in my mailbox today! The art is wonderful, and the themes work for me.
My problem is this... the whole idea of a "mint tin game" is something that is portable, has a small footprint, and fits in a mint tin. Well, that's my problem. These games are so crammed into these tins that they barely close. If I were to accidentally drop one, I fear the tin will bust open, sending way to many things in every direction.
The games are good, and im not trying to put the publisher or game creator down. I am simply highlighting this issue to hopefully direct other designers and publishers to learn from this mistake.
In all honesty, it took me longer to tetris everything back into the tins than it did to actually read the rules, set up the game, and play it. I probably won't get these to the table very often because I will dread the clean-up. Sorry, Galen.
