Ratings

• KiWA 6 – The Ultimate! Think like 5+. The top option.

• KiWA 5 - Great game and fun to play and worth the time and money.

• KiWA 4 - Great game but. Yea, the buts make it not top but still worth some time.

• KiWA 3 - So so. Yea, get it if on sale

• KiWA 2 - Nah. You should avoid it

• KiWA 1 - The lowest rating. To get to a KiWA 1 means me buying the game and I won’t. So KiWA 2 is the lowest and DON”T GET THIS GAME!
