Feedback
Creativity of Theme
Cute!
Creativity of Mechanisms
Drafting and then passing cards – nothing new here
Mesh of Theme/Mechanism
It works, but I don’t see anything special here
Clarity of Rules
Rules are simple. I wonder if it’s possible for the game to stall, though.
Use of Form Factor
Fine I guess. No multi-use cards.
Perceived Player Engagement
It’s easy for players to see the goal they are working towards.
Match with Button Shy Brand
Cute theme, simple rules, family friendly, and animals.
WOW Factor
Points for cuteness
Concerns
I wonder if a stalemate is possible during the passing phase.
