Had my first game of this just a couple days ago. Niiiiice.
Very simple, very easy. The gameplay is extremely smooth with a heavy focus on story and no focus on rules, as the rules seem so natural that they just 'happen' and are very easy to remember.
When playing, you're working with very small numbers - 4 and under. That's stats, that's the 'beans' (dice), hit points, etc, etc. As odd as this sounds, it works and doesn't feel at all unnatural.
Saving rolls/contests/whatever you prefer to call them, are again, so simple - both for the GM to decide upon, and for the player to understand and act upon.
Again, I come back to the word "natural". Once you start playing, it all just works so naturally. And again, it works.
For only $2, you've got to give it a try. Seriously.
Oh....and the artwork. Just look at the cover. That pretty much describes it. Gotta love it. :)
