 * Keep Google searches show that the game is real, well respected, and good quality. How about considering all the minor websites, etc. and pretend that's "reliable coverage"? I don't expect the New York Times will be doing a story on it. Steve Dufour (talk) 02:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep In full agreance with User:Steve Dufour's first sentence, Google searches show that the game is real, well respected, and good quality, however this article is lacking proper references, perhaps its external links could be turned into citations? – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 02:32, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The game is definitely real, appears to be well respected by those who have written about it, and those who have written about it seem to agree that it is of good quality. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that I can find that the game has been the source of significant (or, well, any) coverage in reliable sources. Conversion of the article's existing external links into citations will not address this problem as neither link directs to a reliable source. I'll try and check back in on this to see if anybody else has better luck finding sourcing. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  06:03, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable board game &mdash; I have added some citations from some quick online searches and will add more from reviews when I get a chance to go through my gaming magazines (which are not online). Note that this game is outstandingly good and the designer is gaining quite a reputation in this field.  It has won multiple awards and so deserves a place here on merit.

 * Keep sources are light in the article, but there. My personal opinion is that anything in the top 50 or so at BGG is very similar to hitting a major album chart and so should be included for similar reasons.  Hobit (talk) 17:14, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
