Little-known fact: Norman Jewison originally developed the property as Rollerdreidel but James Caan thought it would narrow the potential audience.

this is surprisingly fun and well-made on top of being delightful! playing with WASD against the game's recommendation but there's still a lot of satisfaction in controlling the dreidel's momentum

dreidel's accursed betting system made it feel 50/50 whether I'd win a match even winning every battle within it, but hey, that's dreidel for you

Honestly, it's not as exciting as it sounds

For what could have lived entirely on the strength of that tremendous fucking name, this was also a pretty charming game in its own right. Nice to find a new context in which to find dreidel sort of infuriatingly random.
