I adore this game! I find the player tile a great way to try out different strategies. My only gripe (and it's probably just the way I play) is I find the beginning of the game a bit more likely to go sideways for new players especially, as tracking food and having only one worker to manage that can be tricky.
This is a great game, played it at 3 and 4 player count, ages ranged from 9-75. Everyone had a really good time, lots of laughs when trying to figure out the thought process of the spectator. Recommend this game.
