So far the best new release of Essen 2025. Thinky, crunchy, tight, thematic. At first 10 rounds feel too short, but probably it's just enough.

Great game, super thematic and excellent components. One of my best of Essen Spiel 25
It just all clicks. Perfect manual. Wonderful graphics. Interesting theme. Play time just about right. Curious to try new combinations each game.
Don't let your first game discourage you. I had a hard time seeing the genius of the design until my second and third play. This is such a re-playable game with several paths to victory. It can seem hard to do a lot in the first 2 to 3 turns, but then it takes off with multiple satisfying combos. I played my first 4 player game this week and it was such a blast! Everyone loved it. I can't wait to play it again. This is definitely one of the top games to come out in 2025, and I believe anyone who loves a medium to medium-heavy Euro style game will feel the same.
A gorgeous euro that completely blew us away. Despite the high component count, the setup is surprisingly intuitive, and the production quality is top-notch. It plays perfectly at 2 players with absolutely zero extra admin. The strategic variability is excellent. You simply can't do it all, making efficiency crucial right from the initial harvester placement. We absolutely loved the engine-building aspect of continuously upgrading our action points track, as well as the dual-use task cards offering tough choices between an immediate bonus or endgame scoring. A brilliant, tight puzzle with a fantastic table presence.
