Congrats Rahdo, you've once again got me interested just enough to wanna pick this one up. Sigh....lol. Nice review, looks like a fun one, even if its a bit easier. Will be primarily played as 2 player, and Im a sucka for old west theme.
After listening to you raving about it I was wondering if this would make your top 10 for last year? For me the game was a bit disappointing, it was really hard to build a long term strategy with the haphazardness of the exploration. Good game, but IMHO it lacks the strategic depth of Feld games like Trajan.
It's a lighter worker placement style game and my group and I have found that you should concentrate on one or two objectives for the game and stick to them. Trying everything is likely to get you less points :)
That's not a rave, the translation is: "it's a fun average to above average game that will be the first to go when I need the shelf space..." ;)
A great run through as always... Still on the fence about getting my hands on this one...
This looks like a super fun game! Can't wait to play it!

Thanks for the info. Heard mixed opinions about this one.

is this a keeper for you? I like the mining theme.
+Nain1982 yup, i think i rated it a low 8 :)
Do such gamed with no art at all have still place in our world..? 🤔
if they're this good i say yes! :)
I noticed that your final thoughts have gotten shorter from last yrs final thoughts. Conscience effort or fluke?
+Kory Walsh nothing particular... some games just prompt me to say more than others. usually, the less i like it, the longer i talk...
