Worker placement, but 20 workers! More resources the more workers you place there! You get to arrest your opponents workers if they're being too greedy! Make shady black market deals! What's not to love.
Very good. VERY good. And not as complex as BGG makes it out to be...
If you're used to dice management and engine building, this should feelnright at home. Add to that a nice map development and exploration element and you have MUCH success, to quote Borat.
I thought this game was going to be easy! Nope! I love small box games that are easy to learn and this one fits the bill! It's so compact and easy to learn but don't let it's size fool you! There's a lot of thinking to this one. I've only played once so far and did absolutely horrible, only got 2 flowers to bloom. I can't wait to play again!
I can’t imagine a better solo game. As a fan of deckbuilders and legacy games, this combines everything I love about both genres into one small but meaty package. I can sit down, take 1 minute to get my cards out, and play a few rounds in a short amount of time. Even in one round the sense of progression can feel very satisfying and discovering new cards is always a treat. Perfectly fits what I was looking for from this game at a very reasonable price point.
