Interesting game with nice mechanics but there are two faults that should have not been made. The colouring is awful, those vibrant colours that you see in the image section are heavily tuned up. Check the videos for a more accurate picture. Everything is dull as shades of brown and grey dominate the tiles, and red, yellow, and green are hard to discern. I am not colourblind and I find myself trying to find the colour part on a tile so I can figure out there is a building over there, rather than the opposite. I cannot imagine how a colourblind person can play the game, it is too much effort to play by the shapes of the buildings. IF it was as it is seen in the images it would be so much better, and even then the four main colours should be more colourblind friendly. The second issue is that it is a bit expensive for what it is. A fast tile laying game for ~40E is hardly justified. They should have gone for the basic meeple houses rather than custom and the result would be the same imo. The tiles are thick and sturdy, there is a very nice, though not that necessary, insert and the production quality otherwise is very good, but I feel the game ends up a bit overproduced. I got the game because I found it heavily discounted (I believe around 10Eu in a BF offer) and I cannot tell that I regret it the slightiest, I am patient enough to get past the visual obstacles but you better be prepared if you decide to go for it. If you find it at ~20$ and you have no vision issues, it is a decent choice. Otherwise you better pass.

Despite that the colors are hard to distinguish this is a great game! Played only with two players and can emigine that the sweetspot could be 3 players but for me the puzzle aspect is great. i'm afraid te lower public score here on bgg comes from the fact that you have to pay more attention to the busy tiles then necessary. Maybe should have been better as the tiles looked more abstract.
