Pros
Pro Delightfully tricky
Not as easy as it looks due to restriction set out on where on can place tiles. This makes for some strategy in the game trying to figure out what will be the best moved of the allowed pieces.
Pro Simple rules
Deceptively simple! "Each new piece played must be placed so that it touches at least one piece of the same color, with only corner-to-corner contact allowed—edges cannot touch"
Cons
Con Too easy to team up against a single player
When playing with more than three people it can be too easy to fall into this familiar multiplayer trap where many players can team up against one with that one having no real means to stop this uneven play.
