I was in doubt of buying this at Essen, but I'm glad I didn't. Not that it's a bad game, it's one of those descent games that works perfectly, but won't light my fire as it implements known game mechanics into a descent, but not exceptional game. I do have one 'problem' with this game: you can built a nice chain of residence buildings, if the colored buildings come at the 'wrong moment' (aka when you are last in turn order), there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

What I liked the most about The Great City of Rome, is that for a game coming out in latter half of 2010's it was surprisingly simple and traditional. There aren't myriad of resource types with even more ways to convert them into more exotic ones. Instead just a couple of resources and quite straightforward gameplay (get building cards - build - produce). The meat of the game is in capturing and building the most beneficial of cards. The building cards must fit into a 4x4 grid, so placement is crucial here since the buildings interact with each other (mostly neighbours). Seeing your city grow and having the cards comboing with each other is fun, for a time at least.

Great City of Rome it's not a bad game, it's just not very exciting. The play order and round income is the more interesting mechanism, but as a whole it just doesn't add enough that you can't find better in many other games.
