Review: Ugly but a lot of Fun - Title says it all. This game is surprisingly fun but pretty ugly looking. It's a blast with 3 or more players
Review: Efficient Economic Masterpiece - Exciting and thought provoking. Few rules. Unfortunately unplayable with less than 3 players and it is by no means easy to get to the table. If only this was as heavily promoted as Ticket to Ride.
