Sweet! My poll option was chosen for a drop! My family loves this game! We play a lot of board games, and this is our favorite Cooperative one (above also-good games like Forbidden Island/Desert, Castle Panic, Pandemic, Arkham Horror). My favorite two design features of the game:
You can play with any number of people you can get together. I think it plays best with 4 players, but the game cleverly scales the difficulty of the objectives and obstacles such that it works great with anywhere from 2-8. (Odd number of players makes for a more difficult game, usually, and 7-8 player games may take a looong time). We have both won and lost games with every player count (yeah, we play this game a lot).
The game seems to be well balanced, in that even though we lose about half of the time (or more), every game seems to come down to the wire. We usually either win in the nick of time ("We would have lost next turn!"), or we lose right at the end ("We could have won next turn!", etc). It makes for a game that is difficult, but you always feel like you have a chance to win. This also makes the wins feel more rewarding, and even when you lose, you want to play it again to give it another try.

kasonaHey, thanks for sharing and putting this as an option in the polls! I have personally not played this game yet, but your input really makes me want to try it now. Considering the game is sitting near my desk, it is tempting...
