I've played this 8 or 9 times at all player counts now and love it. A medium Euro packed full of little but somehow agonising decisions. Surprisingly tense particularly at 4 player (don't take the last pumpkin/ boat/ opportunity tile I want!). Seems to have flown under the radar a bit since Essen but thoroughly enjoyable.
I just played it on a small German convention and the game is great. If you ask me, it is even better than the currently hyped heaven and ale. Unfortunately the price point seems to be high in the US. Here it is about 45€. Not cheap but more reasonable.
I love K&K games. I haven't played one I do not like. Heaven and Ale was my favorite euro of 2018. Picked this up blindly. Read the rules, I was disappointed to discover this is basically Agricola. Short, tight, restrictive. 4 rounds? No thanks.
Criminally underrated game... That action selection mechanism is great and more games should use it...

Kevin Queen For me, Orleans has another gaming mechanism and is not really comparable but overall Orleans is the better game.
Thanks for pronouncing "New Orleans" correctly, Tom.
Potato, potato 😉

That's a pretty bad oversimplication IMHO. Basically Agricola? Umm, what? I think you misread the rules.
@@hucz I am simply comparing it to Agricola in terms of gameplay feel - it was too short for me.
The price on this game is ridiculous the MSRP is like $70 what are they thinking bunch of jokes
I agree. Their loss
Completely agree.
Well, wait 2 years bc it's now $31 on Amazon. Less than half price.
