D!C!ASSETTE, a stylized display of the Italian for 17 (diciassette), is a bluffing card game in which players try to time when a set of cards on the table sum to 17 or more.

The deck consists of cards numbered 1 to 5 and cards with special effects, such as reversing the direction of play. Some of the numbered cards show their number on both the front and back of the card.

Each player has a hand of three cards. On their turn, they choose to play a card face up or face down to a row on the table, then draw a replacement card. Other players can then state "Diciassette!" if they think the cards in the row sum to 17 or more. If they are correct, they earn a daisy chip and the last person to place a card in the row takes a ghost chip; if not, the ghost chip and daisy chip are handed out the other way.

Players lose one daisy chip for every two ghost chips they obtain, and the first person to collect three daisy chips wins.

I am playing it in a few weeks and review it tehn :)

Meadow: Cards & Sleeves Pack

Solid content, though annoyingly 'incomplete'.

Honey Buzz is a surprisingly intriguing worker placement. There isn't anything too revolutionary, but the combination of mechanics works well, and it's wrapped up in an inarguably delicious presentation. Fall Flavors ramps things up and adds more variety than I thought, turning Honey Buzz into a more robust experience. At first, the mini-modules seemed a little tedious to learn and integrate, but they're actually pretty intuitive and my first test play used all of them (which I recommend). Victory isn't dependant on exploiting the new content, but instead, this expansion does what all expansions should and just opens new avenues for strategic possibilities.

What's disappointing about the release is how it teases the other additional content, namely the Cornucopia promo pack and the Fall Player Piece add-on. There's practically enough materials in Fall Flavors to have a whole additional copy of game to replace base base Honey Buzz with -- which I think would be great -- but the only thing holding consumers back is the lack of those 2 aforementioned packs. Instead, I'm left with materials I need from both base Honey Buzz and Fall Flavors, with too much that can fit into one box, with even some of it being made redundant (once you add the new foliage tiles in, you'll basically throw away some of the old ones as part of the reintegration). This of course is only a problem UNLESS you purchase the additional packs, thus making a new fall edition of the game and rendering ALL of the base stuff obsolete. It's a bit of a conundrum which I think ultimately comes down to cash grabbing from already loyal fans of the design. One additional note: anyone who upgraded the coins in base Honey Buzz to the official wooden ones will be frustrated to find that even the deluxe copy of Fall Flavors only includes cardboard 50 value coins. If consistency is as important to others as it is to me, then the Cornucopia box is almost necessary just for the wooden coins.

If all of the new contents were released together in one box as a Honey Buzz 2.0, I'd probably gripe less and be happier. Alas, I will likely continue to throw money at the company that intentionally planned their release to optimize profits from those who appreciate cohesion and consistency.
