I love how each card placement on the City board triggers a chain of resource upgrades—it makes every turn feel rewarding. The production phase flows smoothly once you get the hang of balancing your projects and resources.

The way resources cascade through the Production phase feels incredibly satisfying once you get the hang of it. I love how each card placement on the City board forces you to think a few turns ahead.

The City boards are a clever twist on the standard tableau, forcing you to think about spatial placement as well as resource chains. My first game took a while to get the engine running, but watching it click together by the end felt incredibly rewarding.
