Great game for a Software Development crowd

I’ve played this game multiple times with friends and colleagues, and if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be: engaging! Those with experience in software engineering often found themselves laughing—sometimes through tears—while recalling similar situations from their careers.

Does the gameplay spark conversations and foster collaboration? Absolutely!

Interestingly, senior colleagues with no prior board game experience grasped the mechanics more quickly than newcomers, allowing them to beat the game faster. This proves that real-world experience translates directly into gameplay!

The only caveat is that the game truly shines with a group of 4 to 7 players. While it can be played solo or with a large group of up to 10, the experience may not be as immersive.

Would I recommend it? A solid YES. It’s fun, educational, and encourages exploration and experimentation.
