[Elaine and Tess the Springer. I won’t be on GR for a bit. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got this for my Grandsons Christmas and I have played some of the game but thought I should read it before I do a review and I will edit it when he reads it.
It has a very good story and also tips for the game some of which were over my head.

[Cassandra Doon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I purchased this book from the school's book club for my son and ended up playing some of the game myself. While I must confess it wasn't exactly my cup of tea, the book itself was fantastic. Filled with valuable tips and tricks for the game, my son found it to be incredibly helpful. In fact, he often referred back to the book when utilizing these newfound strategies. The pages were filled with detailed explanations, making it a perfect companion for avid gamers. Though I may not have enjoyed playing the game, I appreciated the educational value and practicality of this book. It certainly made a positive impact on my son's gaming skills and knowledge.
