- Owner: Very good game with some actions, not too much; played in 30-45 minutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkhpy1wfDzQ&lc=UgzvRH66w3bdtjtk6Kp4AaABAg)
- Community: Hard to tell duck colours on camera; dim lighting is a drawback (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpOinJrwyMQ&lc=Ugx2e7rBR3lWFhvTVRd4AaABAg)
- Community: Stinks; written instructions are difficult; ducks never touch rule is odd (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpOinJrwyMQ&lc=Ugwasy-tAx5yR27MP294AaABAg)

Problems owners mention: duck colours hard to distinguish in low light; difficult written instructions; confusing 'ducks never touch' rule; unclear rule on formations with single colour; poor colorblind accessibility.
