   My wife and I have played this over and over. I don't know why but it really connects with us. Even though it feels samey after a while, the game is pretty quick for the experience, and it is a lot of fun.

   I was a little disappointed in this - it is a bit of a dog's dinner of a board and a game for that matter. There is simply too much going on in this point salad and too much of it relies on luck. I much prefer Feld's games of this type as there is usually more depth and control to go alongside the luck. I'd play this again, but I can't say I thought that it added much to the gaming world.

   Some pretty unique things here. First the race type of game where you are going around the board on two different tracks in opposing directions and the game ends when they meet. The one track is money which you also use during the game to activate certain locations. The most interesting thing is the use of dice as currency. There are numerous ways to get dice, counter bad rolls, and use them in different ways but the primary way is building on your personal board. There are multiple ways and things to consider when placing the tile that unlocks abilities, opens up new avenues for money, as well as moving up the fame track. All of the actions and locations are intertwined to make a pretty thinky puzzle experience. You'll often need a balanced strategy to go up both of the main tracks to unlock your workers and falling to far behind is pretty punishing. There are 4 colors of dice which correspond to different tiles which can be easier or harder to get based on the card draw and dice rolls. Its an easy game to learn while offering a lot of depth. It also looks like they include several advanced variants in the game for even more variability.
