Well written review. Yet I’m left with the most important question unanswered. Is the game fun to play?

I get the strange feeling that the answer is a hard no. And that this price was ordered which is why it goes on like one long excuse for why different people might have different opinions of it.

I thoroughly enjoy the mechanics of it as a solo player. It has the same texture of luck and strategy as Agricola professions, and it forces you to seriously prioritize your technological choices or risk mediocrity from trying to be the best at everything. If you’re into euro and you wish Civ didn’t take 400 hours to play an excellent game, it’s great.
What games are fun or not really depend on the group dynamics.
