This one didn't stick the landing for me. If you told me it was a game inspired on Disney's Ratatouille I might have nodded along for theme choice, but as an Appendix N inspiration I am just not feeling it. It's not a 1, but not really a 3 for me either. I think I could get some ideas from this, but wouldn't bring it to a table.

There are some especially jarring choices for usability. The background graphic caused me to have issues reading it for example. The roll tables in tiny font turned sideways at two different angles was an especially baffling choice. I had to increase my screen size to even figure out what they were. If I printed this, my printer would probably just render it as entirely unreadable. I have no idea what system this is tied to, if any, but it mostly feels like setting for something else.

The single art item (such as it is) is a stamp whose text is difficult to read due to font choice and that when I attempted to translate it came out to 'Insured Bankruptcy', which didn't help me at all. I don't judge on typos, but there were several I caught that were pretty easy to find. Word choices too made it feel like English might not have been a first language here.

As a whole, I think there's an idea here that could be pretty gameable in the right circumstances, but as it is currently, I just wouldn't consider trying given the amount of outside effort it would take me to make it functional for my tables. Sorry. Good effort regardless though.

It's Italian, it means Fail Assured, as in "you can only be sure of your failure, everything else is to be earned the hard way".

Ah, okay. I was so confused when I ran it through a translator and it got Insured Bankruptcy. I knew there had to be a purpose, but was kind of at a loss. Thanks for clarifying the meaning. Hopefully others who review read your reply here so they don't have to rely on questionable internet translators.
