Iggle Review of Takeout

We got a lovely review of Takeout over on Geek Girl Penpal Club:

I was especially delighted by the accessibility of the cards for non-readers and those with color-blindness. Each flavor is delineated by a color, a word, and a Chinese character, providing play to the broadest possible audience.

Takeout’s broad appeal and simplicity are the laurels on which it is to be lauded. Though not a chewy Euro game, it is easily grasped, making it friendly to almost all ages and player levels. The rules, which are printed on a “takeout menu” style sheet are memorable but thorough. The packaging is portable, perfectly shoved into a pocket or bag for a con or family event. In fact, family events are exactly the kind of place that Takeout will shine.

The replayability and the competitive streak the game incites make Takeout the perfect pastime at your next family reunion. Because it is such a delightfully simple game your niece who has yet to read, your cousin who’s too cool for tabletop, and your grandma who just isn’t as fast as she once was will all enjoy. Because each game is generally a digestible 15 to 45 minutes, players can comfortably join or leave the table between each set.
