That 72 average hides a game its 167 fans would defend to the death. A puzzle game that respects your brain — comedy on the surface, real logic underneath. Just you and the game. No lobbies, no teammates, no excuses. A 1991 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.
