Cube Mover I played this game tonight with 4 players and it was quite enjoyable. It seems like a cube mover and then you see how there are multiple paths to victory and getting the right strategy for your set of buildings is crucial. All the scores were close even when we had a run away leader. One player found a way to get within 4 points of the leader. I was 2 points behind him. Very good worker placement strategy game.

Don’t Be Like Me “it is important to note that moving to an undiscovered coastal town can only be done once per turn.” Don’t forget this rule! They even put it in bold in the instructions. Forgetting this rule ruins the game.

Perfect Euro game on the Go Quality travel board game. Beautiful cards with creative and quick Euro-style gameplay. Surprising amount of gameplay depth with such simple components. I always take it with me when I travel now.
