Having said that, once you figure out what's going on, you'll enjoy the hell out of it. Each of the four players has a lot o interesting decisions to make and the variable order makes sure that every game will be different. It took us a while to muddle through things, but the payoff was worth it. Sure, this game is pretty to look at, but it is way too difficult to get into, and I get the overwhelming impression that CoA dropped the ball here. Rules are not particularlly well put together, which makes answering questions during play difficult, odd for such a simple game.
Victory conditions seem well thought out as well as interesting.
Although we only played once it looks like it may have quite a lot of variety to it. Looking forward to playing it again. All rights reserved.
