This is a very interesting partner (4 player) strategy game. Not always a good idea to be passive in this one. The randomness in teams to start is interesting as well. Some of the pieces work together well and some are mehh. Overall I have enjoyed the few times I have played even on the losing end. Learning each game.

"Any Marine who has not read Lucas Phillips’ book The Greatest Raid of All should. This is about the raid that shattered the dry dock at Saint-Nazaire, France, so that Bismarck would never have a place to be repaired if they went out to sea. You see how you can apply strategy to operations to the tactical costs and all."

Amazing Gateway Game, Easy to Learn, Beautiful, Fun Theme, light strategy.
Although this game can have frustrating moments, it's a really fun light game for kids. the light choices of going around the outside for more treasure, or the inside for more speed, and the idea of rolling the dice first and then choosing how to use them based entirely on the cards you have in hand, provides a touch of strategy, but not enough for A.P.

For heavier gamers who like complexity, this is way too light. But the art is gorgeous and fun.

Good solid 2 player game. Plays quick with good strategy.
I still love this game and skill will win 75% of games. You just need to be aware if it gets out of hand early. Like one player gets enough resources to price you out of most cards. Maybe start over and play best two out of three. If both players know the game you can play in a half hour.

Having the cards in front and selecting based on what you give the other person access to makes the strategy deeper. And building wonders is vital especially with extra turns. Which can then be used offensively or defensively. Which makes for interesting decisions too.

Great game for head to head battles.
