This game has a lot of things going for it. It packs a lot of interesting decisions into a short period of time, not just what to price your tiles, as Tom mentioned, but which scoring paths to pursue and tiles to buy, and how much cash to leave for your own tile purchases. There's little downtime, which helps give it that addictive 'one more game' pull.

It was my understanding that the tiles you're pricing are in front of your player screen for everyone to see while pricing their own tiles. The coins and axe you assign to your tiles are behind the screen but aligned with their respective tiles.

I could see the game working either way—one with more analysis paralysis (and strategy . . . and guessing) than the other.

That's pretty cool! I like how fitting the tiles follows the Carcassonne methods. Very similar with the maps. Obviously the rest of the game is different, but I still like how it follows that similar Antiquity Age.

It is possible not to place a tile, you could go first and not buy a tile from someone and other players can buy both of your tiles.

I love the hammer come down and smashing all those tiles making them fly. I could practically hear all the component drop complainers gasping and yelling at there screens :D

I love it when you approve a game, smashing it rather violently. I wonder however, what would you do to a BAD game? I'd love to see that! Anyway.. onwards.. Love your review, as usual Tom. I bought this game today as a matter of fact. Great job! :D
