Here's the review Tony from Plus One Exp did back when the kickstarter was running.

5/5- Get this game. Use it to worldbuild, either on your own or with your friends. Make a short campaign for one community.

Grasping Nettles provides a great open palette of ideas and world generation that can be used in a variety of settings. This game is a very light read, and after you read through the rules, you get a good idea of how the game works. It can last quite a while (My playthrough just for one generation lasted about 4 hours). The game fits a lot of genres, and could be played over multiple sessions. The Quick Nettles are also a great example of the variety of genres that can be played. I highly recommend you check out this game, show Adam some support, and give this game a try, either on your own, or with a table of friends.

Just played this as a world building game and absolutely loved it, we definitely plan on continuing the game in both systems

Hi, check out "Online Play.pdf" in the demos section - it will walk you through playing on Miro!

This is a fantastic game, we ended up using it to generate the Conspiracy in Andrew Gillis's Girl By Moonlight and had a ton of fun and created a really interesting cult
