Well, nothing new for me, bought Minecraft after agonizing over it for a month, decided to pick it up before the new edition dropped.
That said, I love Stikbold! I haven’t had a single person play who didn’t have fun with it, there’s even a crazy mode where you just dodge all the hazards, it can get nuts.
