Cone Defense
I found the mechanics to be really interesting and I appreciate the components as well as the art. Certain aspects just felt out of balance and unentertaining however. Great table presence and I'd play if someone wanted to, but I won't seek it out.

NEUTRAL - I don’t care if my workers drown. They’re only worth five points. My partner assures me I’m a sociopath. PROS - Table presence, nice artwork, and quality components. - Replayability, smooth gameplay. - It’s pretty neat how opponents’ scores are so close every game. There hasn’t been a runaway leader in my experience. - The last few rounds are nail biters: feels like a race. - Lots of tension in watching the water rise. - Compared to other games we own, there is a decent amount of interaction. - I’ve only played with two, and it seems to work well. CONS - My spouse thinks that in an attempt to be original, the game introduces too many bells and whistles (sorry) and is unnecessarily complex. - Steep learning curve. This game is a little too heavy for my taste. - Also, play is a little too long for my taste. - Not the quickest game to set up. - Some of the machine tiles seem pointless. (“Move this machine?” Why?) - Some of the large machine tiles seem unnecessarily complicated, so we removed them from the game. - Takes up a lot of table space, not leaving enough room for the overly large rule book, which is a problem when first learning the game.

Use airfleets to build a machine contraption in the mountains, while seeking to be the most prosperous rail-era company. Features an interesting take on worker placement and game timer while all players work together on the construcion. Recommend 2-3 players. Good: * Intriguing and strategic worker placement based on a worker's physical size. * Tactical building of the scaffolds and machinery, while balancing scoring. * Each game will vary in the construction of the machine. * Flood tiles creating the sense of tension. Not so good: * Setup time. * Theme really makes no sense, but somehow makes it work. * While unique, not really sold on the snap-together board.
