Review (5/5): Great Value
This has been a great addition to my gaming collection. I brought it out to play "Deus" the other day and although I had to substitute Gold for the Wheat and we used the Brick as Clay to match the colors, it really brought a tactile feel to this card and cube game. I can't wait to get their new boxes to add to the mix and build them into more games. I recommend leaving them in the box and taking them out when you want to use them rather than adding them to the games permanently unless you have only a game or two that could use them or have money to buy multiple boxes to pimp out your games.
Only negatives, as others may have pointed out, are the gems could have been better (light and plastic), the brick holes are very round and the gold bars aren't uniform if you are a perfectionist, but honestly for the price it's outstanding.
In summary, overall great quality, shapes and substances are applicable to many games, especially if you have food substitutes already, and the feel is better than cubes; while not adding to the strategy, it does add to the experience of the game.
