... that the board game Photosynthesis received the 2018
Mensa Select award? Source: "After nearly two days of nonstop gameplay, our Mensa Mind Games judges have selected the following titles to receive the official Mensa Select seal:
Azul, Plan B Games
Constellations: The Game of Stargazing and the Night Sky, Xtronaut Enterprises
Ex Libris, Renegade Game Studio
Photosynthesis, Blue Orange Games
Raiders of the North Sea, Renegade Game Studio"
Overall: this is *mostly* good to go. Sources look good, article and hook are both interesting reads. I will note that there is a slight discrepancy with a couple values in the infobox; the main website for the game says ages 8+ and a 45-minute playing time, while the Meeple Mountain review says ages 10+ and 30-to-60-minute playing time (which I note are the values used for the infobox). These issues are quite small, though. --

Dylan620:I've piped the hook link (I thought I had already done that). As far as the typical game length and recommended ages are concerned, I used a review site because most reviews state a recommended age of 10+. T3 states that "suggested age of 10+ seems right on the money", so perhaps the change to 8+ on the publisher website is recent. Game length times differ from all sources. I've reset them to the suggestions by the publisher, but if you prefer another option, let me know.
