The art of each individual card is phenomenal. The gameplay is straightforward. The strategy might be a little nuanced at first, but a couple of 'make it easier' house rules got the game going, and people were able to grasp the broad strokes of the game mechanics. As play experience continues, we will work our way back to the true game rules I am sure it will continue to be a favorite. The manufacturing quality is excellent. Shipping was pretty quick. The game cards met my expectations. I would recommend you purchase this game. Not even to mention the cool education aspect of it." — Russell Swannack 15.

After doing a thorough cleaning of my bathroom, I always pop one of these babies in the toilet as a last step to clean and make the room smell a little better (I have a teeny tiny bathroom so this little guy does the trick). And in terms of cleaning the porcelain throne, they absolutely work. My towel bowl always shines brighter after using one.
