Personal Thoughts on I Dissent

I found ‘I Dissent’ to be a fun and lighthearted party game that encourages players to think creatively and tell engaging stories. The game components are of good quality, and the gameplay is relatively simple to grasp. However, I did find that the game’s replay value was somewhat lacking, as the prompts can become repetitive after a few rounds. Overall, I think ‘I Dissent’ is worth a try for those looking for a casual party game that focuses on storytelling. However, players who prefer more strategic or competitive games may want to look elsewhere.
