RAG's comments:
This is a simple, yet exciting game! I guess there must be a lot of question marks in your head right now. How on earth can a simple boardgame be exciting?! However, this is really true! Everyone starts the game off with 25 rubles (cash), go through each phase (Worker Phase, Building Phase, Aristocrat Phase and Trading Card Phase) in each round, recruiting workers with special skills, constructing buildings of critical functions to you, hire the right Aristocrat and use your wits to complete the best deals in town! At the end of the day, player with the highest points win the game! Excitement is derived from the different strategies you choose to use throughout the whole course of the game!
This game is very suitable for those who want to play something straightforward, not too long and yet exciting! =)
RAG's Rating:
7.5/10

  2. Hi SM (I suppose)!
    You are so right about the point about the money part. So whenever playing this game, one has to plan your game well from start and be really alert to what your opponents are eyeing on at all times. Simply exciting!
