Description
Players are trying to build the shortest path from the factories to their outlets. As buildings and outlets are placed out on the board, the unforgiving road must connect them all, and in doing so may foil the others plans of providing the freshest fish. A real brain burner.

Cons

none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Asset management — manage stalls/stands to minimize distance and maximize efficiency
- block and disruption — fleamarket tables can disrupt opponents' paths and force rerouting
- path efficiency scoring — points depend on distance from trucks to stands; fewer spaces equals fewer points (lower score wins)
- reserve/flip mechanic — on your turn you reserve a spot or flip a tile to reveal market/stands; flea market tables can interrupt paths
- Risk Management — manage stalls/stands to minimize distance and maximize efficiency

Quotes (from this video)
- the game is very interactive you're getting in people's way
- it's not a strategy game
- a mind-bending puzzle that I know the first couple games I played has caused a decent amount of analysis paralysis
- the decision space is so wide because there are so many little factors that play in with all the spaces you can go to
- open world, bigger map, seven large hex tiles, computational depth
- the bullying aspect in the auction with whoever is the most money can really throw their weight around
- Guards of Atlantis 2 ... it's a niche game
