Title: fun family game (age over 10)
Product review: My wife and I have only played this a few times so far but we both enjoyed it. I rate it a 4 - I only rate Go or Chess with a 5, sorry.It is difficult to find games that appeal to both of us. I can't stand Ticket to Ride European because for two people it feels like a rather boring solitaire game. She won't touch anything that is pure strategy like Go, especially if it is aggressive. This game - like Carcassonne, Thurn and Taxis, Alhambra, and Saint Petersburg - fits the bill for both of us. It seems like there may be smarter choices available in this that in the others listed, yet it isn't a complicated game to learn. It requires good timing of your choices. There is some chance which is good for a family game. Although the medieval building theme is pasted on -- it's really an abstract game in disguise -- the bits are attractive.We also enjoy the fact that it has unusual mechanics.
