    Personnally, I'm kinda sceptical about this one...I'm gonna buy it just to have all the power-mint but nothing more...

    The power could be interesting but compared to the power of Arma or Bombard-mint that kill most of the zombies on the board ....well it is kinda useless...😞

    Plus, the plants of the family are for most of them useless, or used in very specific situations: grave buster, magnet-shroom, lily pad (3 out of 8!)
    Spring bean is a low cost version of chard guard, so it has no real utility let's be honest...

    So basically there are only 4 plants of the family that can be useful in any game. And it is likely that when/if they do a power-mint based on ice plants, hurrikale would be removed from contain-mint family...

    I don't think it would be a good power-mint in normal game or in Battlez mode. So far, I would say it looks like the less interesting powermint of all the power-mint released... ☹️

    At first glance, and having already played the two test levels, it seems to me that even the Fila-Mint is vastly superior to Contain-Mint.

    The majority of the plants in the Contain-Mint family are pretty useless in Adventure mode. That makes it highly unlikely that they would ever be selected for Battlez. (Except in error).

    The two exceptions are Stallia and Hurrikale, but I've never used the Hurrikale in Battlez. That leaves us with Stallia. But if we keep finding ourselves deprived of the Blover to back it up, it, too, becomes severely limited.

    To sum up, I'm so underwhelmed that I can barely contain my feelings of indifference.

    I have plenty of Mints available, so I will probably buy Contain-Mint. But unless it proves useful in the Endless levels, as Fila-Mint has, I won't be taking it much above level 4.
