Will this game play anything like Castles of Burgundy? Artwork looks similar...

the only main and huge problem playing La Granja here on BGA is too little time to decide and calculate your moves, its just too little time for a game like this
this game lets you play many combinations and use many different options, and you must use those options very precisely and wisely in order to not fail and score a lot of points
for those calculation right now on BGA you dont have that time, mostly people go into time minus while annoying clock sound making them even more distracted and annoyed
i am waiting for players to make their move even if it is minus 5 min, but not all players will wait this long
you cant learn to play this game fast, maybe a little faster but thats still not enough, this game just requires more time to play, and that is the biggest enjoyment in La Granja, making crazy combinations and finding the most effective way of making resources as well as spending them
Philomorph alluded to this four posts down from yours, but I suggest you play La Granja in turn-based mode so that you can take all the time you want to plan and map out all those crazy combinations. Two years ago I felt the same way about Innovation that you do about La Granja and just felt that real-time mode did not do Innovation justice. So I gave turn-based play a spin and have not looked back. I think I've only played one real-time game since.

Great news! Thx for all who did this game. What is next? I hope it will be someone from maestro Uve Rosenberg. Le Havre or Agricola... If it will be Feast for Odin, i say only one: Take my money for premium account))

In the solo game, the helper The Peddler does not seem to have any effect - am I missing something? Markers are removed from the market with no option to relocate.

Anywhere to report glitches? I know the game is in beta. Just did a 2 player game, and when placing a 2hex contract on the board, would only give me an option of kicking out a player who was already in the center 2hex spot. There were other 2hex spots available, and they didn't come up as options. Also, shouldn't have been able to kick out opponent with 2hex on a 2hex. Later, when I completed another 2hex contract, my only option was to kick myself out of that same spot, even though there were 2 empty 2hex spots available.

@alblaha In 2- and 3- player games many of the outer market squares are not available. The iconography that indicates this on the market hexes is very tiny. It's possible that this is why you were not given the option to place on those spaces.

Just decided to give this one a try today. I watched the video and jumped into a solo game. Game mechanics take a short time to figure out and once I understood they made perfect sense. Overall, I would say this was an enjoyable game to play solo (against a bot) and I look forward to playing it with real people.
Also - way to go on creating a great interface for it. It works really well.
Cheers!

The card "Roofer" (40) doesnt seem to work. I just played it and took two resources from a roof tile but it didnt allow me to place it in a craft building.
