Rules and decisions that matter
What is this game?
A review-based quiz where you identify popular Steam games from comments written by real players.
Are reviewer names and avatars shown?
Public Steam profile details can appear when available. Private or unavailable profiles use an anonymous Steam-player label.
Where do the reviews come from?
Reviews come from Steam users. A public nickname and avatar are shown when Steam makes them available; otherwise the reviewer stays anonymous.
Are reviews automatically translated?
No. Steam returns reviews written in the requested language. When too few are available, the page uses English and tells you.
Steam reviews are recommendations, not star ratings. Steam also exposes recent and lifetime summaries, while its public review endpoint can filter by language, recency and recommendation type. Steamworks.
Common mistakes and how to correct them
The fastest-looking move is often not the safest. Scan the whole board, protect working space, avoid spending recovery tools too early and review the exact move that created the problem.
Turn the ideas into a repeatable practice routine
Play slowly for three rounds. Before every action, name the goal of the move, the space it creates and the next move it enables. Then replay at normal speed without abandoning that check.

How does scoring work?
In Test mode the three clues are worth 100, 70 and 40 points. Guess mode starts at 1,000 and loses 100 for each extra review.
