Quotes (from this video)
- at its core it's a worker placement game
- it's an engine building game where at the beginning you may have a lot of light buildings but eventually you start flipping them over to the dark side so that they generate you victory points
- it's a euro game but there's a little bit of mara trashiness to it with the dice rolls there's some event cards that come out that are kind of random and they can make things bad for you make things good for you so it's definitely not a focus on your old board and play you're interacting with a lot of people and you can do some nasty stuff to people
- the rulebook was a tough thing to get through
- it's a heavy box - it's uh it's a beast
- I'm a big fan of Tetris so and I like puzzles so I liked putting the pieces together
- it was a little frustrating at times because what you needed wasn't what was coming up
- it's supposedly more of an entry level games it's not one of those takes hours and hours and it's easy to pick up and learn
- the counters are large and easy to read that's really us
- there is no jungle of numbers to wade through
