... that the board game Dragomino features "unique and adorable pictures" of dragons? Source: "Aesthetically, the game is top notch. The tiles are thick, sturdy, and glossy. The artwork, though, is where the game truly shines, with unique and adorable pictures for each dragon." Dragomino Is a Kid-Friendly Version of Kingdomino, With a Twist

Excellent article on interesting and notable (prize-winning) game. New enough when nominated, long enough, inline citations, QPQ done. Copyvio check clean. IMO it needs a hookier and not promotional-sounding hook. HouseOfChange (talk) 03:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseOfChange: I suppose it has a somewhat promotional tone, but that's a direct quotation from a reviewer. Would something like ALT1 be more suitable (or is the word 'adorable' the offending factor)? Mind matrix 02:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: ... that the board game Dragomino features adorable dragons?

That is more curiosity-provoking. Would you accept this Alt? HouseOfChange (talk) 03:43, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2: ... that the board game Dragomino features "adorable" dragons?\

@HouseOfChange: The quotation marks on a single word strike me as scare quotes and (in my opinion) change the sense of the hook. Mind matrix 17:04, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mindmatrix: I thought it was more curiosity-provoking with the quotes, but either is good, IMO. I am setting this as GTG with either ALT1 or ALT2. HouseOfChange (talk) 17:22, 1 December 2021 (UTC) ALT1 to T:DYK/P7[reply]
