**Pros**

The Dice Tower is fun to use

The colorful board and animals contrast nicely with the oil dice

8 playable characters

Nice randomized solo puzzle to solve

The risk versus reward mechanism for extra action points is nifty

Multiple ways to tune the difficulty

**Con**

The tower and perimeter have to be disassembled to be put away

Multiplayer feels unnecessary at best and detrimental at worst and is prone to quarterbacking

If the game wanted to express how bad an oil spill is, it did so poorly with sanitized messaging

The Spill is very swingy with some games being far harder than others regardless of difficulty
