Pendulum
I haven't had a ton of opportunities to play Pendulum to give a full review yet, but it is much better than I expected it to be with the simultaneous realtime play. It’s a welcomed change from the normal games that I am used to playing.

Nothing Quite Like It
I've had the pleasure of playing Pendulum 3 times so far, and I've enjoyed it more each time. It's a fascinating blend of real-time and worker placement. I'm a big real-time fan, but don't typically enjoy worker placement. And I've introduced it to folks who are the opposite, and they also really enjoyed it. Unlike most real-time games, it never feels stressful (even the folks who aren't real-time fans agreed). It largely just prevents analysis paralysis and keeps the game moving. I also really enjoy that there is a tutorial mode to play it *almost* in turns; it still includes real-time elements but is much more relaxed. The rules recommend playing the tutorial mode for the 1st out of 4 rounds, and I've found that is a great way to give the less-confident real-time players the confidence they need to have fun through the rest of the game. All in all, this is both incredibly unique and a great game. You'll find yourself thinking about it long after playing. I can't recommend it enough.
