Review Highlights
Reviewer Sarah Dawson noted that the game was enjoyable for both fans of the show and newcomers. With six different adventures included and an option for expansion packs, it’s perfect for game nights or themed parties. Players will use a round table, voting stands, blindfolds, and ‘gold’ pieces, but will need to provide their own Highland-punk attire for full immersion!
