It landed surprisingly well in my collection. I didn't expected it to get such good reactions from my friends and myself. The rules before trying it out seemed very foggy and strange, but once played, the game shines with its pure originality. And it's not just original to be original and therefore very clumsy, it's original, fresh and polished, it has some mechanics, that feel new, work great and makes this game unique. In advance it has amazing art design, it's beautiful, and though it's lore is not described too well, the theme is strong and it feels great. As for the components - they are all really good, especially I like pearls as currency, awesome idea.

I think I rated it unfairly low- even the artwork deserves at least a 7. Must play again soon to get this one upgraded. Mike, Ashlee, Doug wtp.

I have a problem with this game. You spend a loooot of time to do insiginfcant things. To convert ressources into lord and then in city but it takes so much time for nothing extraordinary. The nice pearls and the beautiful artwork cannot hide some of the drawbacks this game has
