Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ Officially licensed Bandai Namco PAC-MAN game, not a generic maze knockoff
✓ 2-4 players each pilot their own PAC-MAN instead of taking turns on one pawn

✓ Power-up cards add extra movement, teleports, and Ghost-eating turns

Cons

✗ Player-controlled Ghosts add take-that attacks some families dislike
✗ Board game pacing loses the reflex element that defined the arcade original
