   odd Suchy eurogame about building ships unusual theme a few nice mechanics (rondel for acquiring, choosing a subset of secret scoring objective cards, action selection via some sort of time track rondel stack of actions, technology/employee tiles, open drafting, ...) a lot of weirdness (people replaced propellers!?, putting tiny sails on motorboats with smoke stacks, selling commodities as a shipyard, putting weird combinations of stuff on ships, ...) I like how the secret objectives let you play differently in each game. unusual rhythm of preparing and finishing a ship nice internal push-pull ?

   (3-4P) Interesting game about making boats by varying specifications with an action selection system that stops you from getting exactly what you need. The frustration level is high.

   A good re-release for those who missed the 2009 out of print title. This is a fun title to play but the re-release disappoints with less than excellent art and component design.
