It feels like it has a good game length too, enough time to build up your character some but not drawn out too long if someone gets knocked out early. It's quick enough to reasonable play a couple games in a sitting too so someone just doesn't get stuck with a single game of bad luck for the evening. Also the king of the hill targeting rules make it hard to gang up on anyone who doesn't want to be which is always nice for the style of game. You can still get opportunities to prod at individuals in limited ways outside that targeting so you don't feel overly restricted by it either.
I have only played with the Power Up expansion included technically. It does effect the game play a decent amount and it's hard to mentally predict some of the nuanced changes but I can't imagine it is necessary to make this game as great as it is.
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024
My only minor complaint is that the graphics chosen for the little round markers are a bit TOO small for me, I need my reading glasses to make them out. I wish they'd gone for colors or some kind of chunky emoticon imagery there.

Consigliatissimo!
I'm not sure this would really appeal to as many adults. It would probably appeal more to kids who like action films, monsters, superheroes, gaming, etc. Not so much for kids who aren't into such things. It is a nice board game to take the kids off wanting screen time for a bit... for us, it turned out to be a good buy.
