"Smart in a lot of ways, but also, with all due respect to the smart guy who wrote it, sort of cynical and off-putting at times."

"A wonderful and long book about love and friendship that spans three decades, a lot of it in New York City. And I love the cover too!"

A lot of people I know really like this game, but I am not a big fan. I've played it four or five times- I keep giving it another chance and I just don't think it deserves one. The good thing is it has a lot of replayability with all of the different scenarios. The bad- this game has a LOT of down time. When it isn't your turn, it is incredibly boring. There's not a lot of big decisions or thought to even be made on your turn, so you have about 30 seconds of doing something interesting and then 10-15 minutes of waiting around before it's your turn again (especially if people haven't played before). The game is very high variance- it really depends on a lot of random elements. It is the randomness more than anything you actually strategize during the game to do that determines what happens in the end. It's a really simple semi-cooperative board game. If you are newer to board games and want to play something simple, I would recommend it. If you're expecting a challenging horror board game with a traitor mechanic, I really would not.

I completely agree with what you've said. I honestly view it as a gateway game between Catan and more complicated games. Our group played it religiously for a few months, and I will say that it did get better with a more experienced group. After a short while, the turns could be done in 2-3 minutes (even with a 6 player group), so there was much less downtime. But there's no way around the fact that it is poorly balanced, which is ultimately what turned our group off.
