Fun Game with History Component
This game is fairly easy to teach and nice at 2 players, but would be better with more players. I like that it has a history and learning component with the history of the 1893 World's fair. Great game!

Fun game (even for us old folks :)
Some of these strategy games can be quite complex. My son brought this one home initially and I loved it. It was easy to learn and fun to play. Yes you have to play it a few times to really get good at beating your strategy game expert kids, but this one I mentioned is fun, the worlds fair facts are interesting and it plays fairly fast! Highly recommend!

Easy game with some strategy
I had read The Devil in the White City (https://smile.amazon.com/Devil-White-City-Madness-Changed/dp/0375725601/ref=sr_1_1) in high school and I really enjoyed learning about the Chicago World's Fair. When I saw that there was a game about the World's Fair, I was super excited to buy the game. However, after trying it out I decided it wasn't that interesting and decided to pass on it.A year later, I saw that they had this new version and I was still uninterested. Then I saw that someone had said it was crap because it was the "woke" version. And then I learned what that meant, and I said, "I need to get this!" I played this with my teen cousin and husband. I came in last place (again) but it was an interesting puzzle. It's hard to impress my husband sometimes so I'm glad he liked this one. It isn't too difficult to learn, but still has some strategy. He's the kind of person who will strategize EVERYTHING and doesn't want to have to learn difficult games that have low pay out of enjoyment.I personally like thematic games and this game still falls short for me. I end up just looking at the colors and the symbols, forgetting to enjoy the flavor text. I am glad to have this game in my collection though, because it is a game that plays quickly and it does have some strategizing but not enough for my husband to sit there analyzing every single move to bore me to death.While I like historical accuracy, I think that allowing the game to have some cards (which have what I am assuming is historically accurate flavor text) that add to the game makes it more interesting and something that I would be glad to share with my non-gamer friends. Pointing out the segregation in American society is historically accurate, so in many ways, this game is more accurate because it addresses that point in time.

Fun Family Game
This is just a great family game. Plays fairly fast and offers some interesting choices. Not hard to learn but can be difficult to master! Highly recommended.

It's the worst.
It's the worst. Here's a drink I don't drink. I lost money because the return process was difficult.

Highly recommend!
This is a great family weight area control game with a fantastic theme. I love all the flavor text on the cards, and gameplay lasted just over an hour in a four player game.
