I hope the kid yelling "shut the door" at the end is proud, looking back at this from adulthood. I know I would be. Great video, i now know what to pick up next.

I agree with the theme. it is so damn cool how all the tiles work together and make sense.

A BGG Con goer (Trent Hamm) said this: "There were aspects of this game that left me extremely worried about long-term balance. One of my opponents nearly won by having 75% of his tiles be lakes and he would have won had he not done it a bit suboptimally. He had a tile that doubled the value of lakes, and then he doubled the effect of that, in essence making lakes extremely valuable. On top of that, one of the goals was "most lakes."

Thanks, Tom! I've been waiting for this review all week and it looks great.

Great review... you and Joel Eddy both liked it, so it moves up pretty high on my interest list :)

I've only played this once. I was surprised when my sister told me she's been obsessing over this game since I introduced her to it. I suppose I should help her out. I really do love how all the buildings interact with each other and how lots of cash is not something you always want to have.

first look i wasn't too sure... this video review pushes me over the edge. it's on my wish list, and fairly high up on it.

The goal tiles are a balance concern for me. They can boost you a lot if they match the overall strategy you want to play, and cripple you if they don't. Reminds me of the 'Tycoon' cards in Railroad Tycoon'. They replay value, but make the overall game a lot more random. As a house rule, I would play a few games without both types of goal tiles (individual and common). I suspect it would be a more fair game.

sort of like a more complex Alhambra?
@Cheeseburger246911 жыл бұрын
Considering lakes are an unlimited default choice during the game, this seemed very awkward.I also felt like there was a bit of a runaway leader problem. Aside from that, the game is brilliant and a lot of fun. It captures the feel of SimCity better than any game I've ever played. I really want to play this again, which is a good sign, but I'm worried that the game might have big enough balance issues to not warrant lots of plays, which is a bad sign. Thoughts?

This game seems like something I would like. I'm a little concerned about this being a bad game for analysis paralysis. Components look very good and all but this is a table eater in terms of space. Phase board seems VERY redundant as the tiles are already labelled ABC. IDK that's a small nit pick of mine. An organization tray would have been really nice instead of these boards.

A scaled down Castles of Burgundy? Nah, that's unfair isn't it? Not similar much at all, huh? I've got some sort of game called Infinite City but I haven't played it. Suburbia has a much better reputation than Infinite City which seems to be known for randomness and a lot of take that.

It's a point salad game, Tom - why are you so excited? It's an okay game, but not as 'great' as you proclaim it to be.
