The consistent knock, and it comes from high-trust r/boardgames threads, is build quality. Multiple posts report that the cards slipping into the door slots are 'INCREDIBLY easy' to fall out, with one buyer of the five-year-old's edition specifically complaining about it, and an r/mildlyinteresting comparison calls the new edition cheaply made versus older versions. That's a meaningful, repeated complaint rather than a one-off, so while the gameplay concept is well-liked, the physical execution of recent editions is the main reason it lands lower than the better-built classics here.
