This is a nice review. I think as far as Curie goes, the review name itself gives us a clue - "compact", as in short. I do believe this is original work, and what is there is nice, but the review is pretty short and is lacking the detail that would be required for this to be truly exceptional and worthy of Curie. Just as an example (and you could pick out many sections and make the same point) - here is the entire portion of the review that deals with the controls of the game:

CONTROL The control is simply cool, very flexible and easy to use.

So the control is cool, flexible and easy to use... but what is it? How do you control the players? How do you select who you are passing to? What are the controls? I know absolutely nothing about the way this works after reading the game. And that is fine, the author said this was a compact review and it was. But in my opinion, that means it isn't really Curie material.
