Truly unique, mind expanding

Mortality is unlike any game I've encountered. Strictly speaking, it should probably be classified as edutainment; however, it's so infectiously amusing, I hate to label it so. A great deal of research went into this. I'm looking forward to expanded editions that show risk factors all around the world. Great fun!
Fun game!

It took me a minute to realize that I needed to move the cards around, but once I did it became addictive :). Nicely done!!
It isn't what you fear that will get you

Rarely have I enjoyed displaying my ignorance (while being educated) as in playing Mortality. Thanks for the education!
