I played this game i think over 500 times during playtesting. It's a really fun city builder that is rich with many paths to victory. And it has a degree of balance basically all board games wish they had, due to the designer building an online version that we played constantly for years. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

Such a fun game. Different every time. Building a community and trying to get the most points at the end. The game play is relatively easy, but there is a lot of strategy to winning the game. Definitely a go to game that I have played a lot.

Beta tester here. Imagine 7-Wonders but with enough cards and variability that the game is different every time. I played ~100 games in the beta and felt like I barely scratched the surface. I can't wait to get this game and really delve into it.

Playtested this a bunch and it was super fun and strategic with lots of interesting decisions around how to optimize your plays given your random tile options, your opponents' strats, your previous plays, and your long term plan. The combination of money management, combo potential, and the impact of road placement makes every game different and challenging.

I helped playtest a basic web version of this game and have amassed over 1000 games over a 4 year period. The game is quick, excellent, and fun; especially with multiple people who know what they are doing. It's pretty easy to pick up and still difficult to master (which is why Paul typically wins when we play). This game rewards long term planning and each decision will count but new players won't feel bad even with basic strategies. The nuances aren't overly complex or mechanical either which makes it easy to pick up. If you've played 7 Wonders and Carcassonne you'll feel right at home here.
