Review: Fun game for game snobs! - We are very particular about which games we keep around and this one is a keeper! It's one of those multi-faceted strategic games that is actually fun! There are a lot of ways to earn points and many things to remember, so keep the instructions handy at first! That being said, although the setup/ learning the game is somewhat complicated, the game play is simple. It's rated for 14+, but I think it's been given that rating more for attention span, rather than the actual gameplay. I think a mature 10+ year old would still enjoy this. When you are short on time, you can skip one of the 4 rounds and cut off about 15 minutes. We haven't tried less than that, but it might be hard to make enough progress for the game to make sense with less than 3 rounds. The game itself is well-built and designed with class in a fun art-deco theme. It is a fair price with a great entertainment value. I would definitely recommend it.
Review: It’s like an onion... - I gotta say, as affordable card games go...this is pretty good! This one is like an onion. “You mean it stinks!?” No, it has layers. It’s pretty simple overall but It did take a few games to “get it”. I don’t know as it’s dripping with theme but what little there is of it kind of didn’t help. For example, one of your cards (“architect”) starts in jail. Why? Don’t know. Make something up. Then if you have the majority of cards in the Brussels play area, you’ll lose one to the jail again at the end of the round. Why? Don’t know. Make something up. Also, in that same Brussels area, if you play there but someone has already assigned a card to the same spot...you play two. Why? Don’t know. Make something up. The game does suffer from these sort of obscure thematic elements which sort of confused me at first as I was trying to figure out the “why” when I should have just said, “that’s the way it is”. But if you just ignore the “why” of it, the rules are solid and the play mechanics are sound and intriguing. Be warned however, as simple as it is...it can be quite thinky. When you place an architect you have to consider a number of things; - the value of the architect you’re going to use (can you afford it?) - The value of the architect you’re going to use (will playing a higher value guarantee me “majority” in a column?) - Will the architect complete a shield (four corners of four cards make up a shield)? - The action the architect will grant you. Artwork? Building? - The types and quantities of the cards in the “art nouveau” area. Do I need to nab a card quickly because it’s the only one? And then there is the Brussels area where you could put an architect.... Very tricky, involved game. Lots going on. It’s a beast to teach (again, think themeless mechanics with no real answer to “why?” When they ask) but give it one game and you’ll be hooked. At the end of the first play through we were like, “ahhhhhhhh, I’m beginning to get it now...” and evolving with a game like that is a pretty fun process.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good
*by I***S on August 18, 2021*

We liked the game, played with 2 and 4 players. The game is pretty cool, but not as much fun as I would like. Gameplay is smooth. I wish the art sale was more fun.
