Well, one of my goals is to complete it sometime this year! I changed my last book for Round 2 as I just could not get going on it... and am holding off reading more for Round 4 until I get closer to the end for Round 3.

Coralie | 1658 comments I agree that this was the best game yet. I liked the way that each round was different. My favourite was round 3 but I might not have liked it as much if I had had the bad luck in rolls I had in round 1.

Yes, it does?
unless I'm looking at the wrong pie... it's there...?
btw, Indigo is the one that's very purple but violet is more of a dark pink
