What I love about this game is the multitude of choices and paths you can go down and the plethora of decisions to be made at every turn. There are many different engines to build from the same set of resources. You can get books, rings, bread and exchange all of those in for points. There are card abilities which you can purchase, some instant, while others permanent. The unique scoring, of only scoring your lowest on two tracks, is very clever and makes you adapt to multiple strategies throughout the game to exceed at both. You can't solely focus on one engine as you score the lowest. The card action selection that combos into one of your pawns moving and taking that action gives you a ton of choices is at the root of the game. The board is unique in the fact that there are two of them with a unique shape. Its difficult to write a game of this type because its about as euro as you can get. For me that is the perfect combination of thinky decisions, multiple paths to victory. The theme is obviously not exciting but it ties together the different boards and actions without being a stretch.

Excellent card driven double rondel action selection with goods production/conversion. Theme is pasted on of course, but who cares when the mix of mechanics is this fun. Update: It's getting better with each play. The variable setup of locations, events, advisor cards and favor tokens makes each game a unique puzzle. The interplay of all of these and the race for cheaper rings, books and favors and getting craftsmen out that makes it a very satisfying play. I really enjoy several very heavy games, but sometimes it's hard to beat an excellent medium fun pure fun factor.

This game is fun. 2 handed solo or 2 player is relatively quick but plenty crunchy. Not sure if solo will be satisfying, since ai has programmed steps that are taken at the end of rounds 2-6. However, I like this game so much I may try to create my own automa deck.
