10.0/10
Such simple mechanics but the potential to ratchet up the stress of auctions adds so much complexity in decisions. This is a masterwork of simple = complex. The production is amazing, even with the cardboard tiles. The only issue is that some tile pulling can make the game move overly quickly (which can be a good thing) but can also create a bad experience if too many bad tiles are pulled and no one can really do anything. However this is part of the game that makes it intense because you are always in a race with RA and your opponents to acquire as many scoring tiles as you can before the epochs end.
