This game gave me genuine joy to read, and after some preparation, I gave it a spin in my game group. It was a huge hit. The mechanics worked well--fast, specific and satisfying. The improvisational nature of the game and the mechanics that make the players not the DJ, responsible for successes and failures, as well as lists of specific possible choices and outcomes, are particularly fun. The genre may take a little training for some groups, and setting the right tone and balance for the campaign are essential, but once you overcome those hurdles and start cranking the 70s hits, the setting and atmosphere are perfect, allowing the players to be goofy and action oriented at the same time without too much or too little of either. I cannot recommend this game enough.
