This game is pretty simple, but the rules weren't immediately clear.

There are some small thematic hurdles such as the strange fact that I can't drop a needle, but those are needed for the game to work, as it would be too easy without it. It took me a while to get used to the game, but I found it to be a bit too easy over all, as after a few failed attempts where I was getting used to the game. It's not a great game, but it's pretty entertaining and worth the $6.00 it cost me.

The Wolfgang and Sons website provides some options to increase the difficulty as well as a 2 player variant, and I think these add a fair bit to the game.
