Quotes (from this video)
  • RA, uh, 33 minutes and 28 seconds, and this was one of the biggest car crash games of RA that I've played.
  • I have to admit, I did bounce off this one quite hard. I wasn't really a fan of it.
  • And this one, I really like the gameplay, but it is too long.
  • I think for an introductory Euro style game, this game does such a fantastic job of giving you the giving you the seven wonders experience in the most streamlined way possible.
