Another for the stack of quick games I'm not really interested in, but decided are probably worth having in the arsenal for literally a few pounds. Like Hanabi, Chinese characters make the cheap copy seem more authentic, if you're generous and a bit racist.
I admire its convoluted efficiency and pretty pictures more than I enjoy actually playing it, but maybe it'll grow on me.
