What's the Sales Pitch for This Game Amongst All the Engine Builders Out There?

Post by Meeplelowda »

Does it employ a new mechanic? Or is there a game you'd compare it to and it does the thing that game does better?

The game mechanic by which resources are spent and locations are raised is not one I have seen in other games.

Also, for a small deck game, the difficulty is fairly high. I wouldn't say the complexity is super high, but the difficulty seems to be.

I'm not sure I would describe this game as an engine-builder.

That's what I get for relying on the BGA description.

But from other threads I see there used to be some significant bugs. Are the ones still there something to worry about?

No. There are a couple very minor bugs that are o rare they have yet to actually affect the game outcome.

It's one of my favorite games. I'd be happy to play you in friendly mode if you want to try it out.
