This is one of the best Knizia designs in years, rivalling some of his classics. This brilliant design should be in every gamers collection. The drafting mechanism and interesting areas to interact with make this a keeper. It is recommended for 3-4 players until the expansion is released. GET this game! When you are addicted, get the expansion so you can enjoy the game 2-player and elevate the 3-4-player experience.
I love the small amount of table space this game takes up. It offers a great tutorial level to introduce you to the rules, though I did find it helpful to watch a playthrough video as well before my first game. I like how easily you can modify the difficulty.
Beautiful and fun game that’s quick to understand and start playing. There’s tons of cards to add variety so you will find a new strategy each play-through. Works great at every player count.
The solo mode is also fantastic! Highly recommend for solo if you want something cute and cozy!
This mat is well worth the price. Having a larger map reduces clutter and crowding (plus, it's easier to read the place names). Bonus: Adding 3D mountains really makes it come to life.
My wife was skeptical, but she ended up having a blast as we planned 5 rounds as soon as it arrived. There is too much fluff about it being a Danish game, but it was made in China like everything else. Fun!
