**Pros**
Four game modes and variable difficulty settings
Easy to Learn
Fast set up and tear down, plus the tile holder fits back into the box assembled.
A very interesting puzzle game about manipulating rooms via gears
A great solo experience
The competitive mode is full of amusing "take that" moments as you impede the other players
**Cons**
The co-op mode is vulnerable to quarterbacking and semi-coop feels undercooked
Rotating tiles in the center of an elaborate maze can be cumbersome
