I don’t recall where I heard about this exploration adventure climbing game, but it was in my wishlist in Steam and so when it went on sale I added it to my library. Climb, climb, and climb some more in this puzzle up the side of a tower to tall to see the top.

Laying down hexagonal tiles to build a pastoral landscape and score points is the key point of this cooperative board-ish game. Ish, because there is no board per se but certainly a lot of table real estate to be claimed.

The game is a perpetual game, too, in that as you play successive times you keep track of your wins and this unlocks new pieces that enhance the complexity of future play throughs. In effect, you’re leveling up the game itself by playing it, which is a nifty premise just in itself and probably means we’ll be cracking it open more often if only to grind through an unlocking campaign.

This giant tome of a book is almost as old as I am, and I think the author set out to write something of a cross between an historical math text book, a history of rational logical thought and a sequel to Alice in Wonderland. It's a twisting non-fiction romp through the interconnectedness of playful science and mathematical art, and a worthy read if you can untangle it.
