Its more simplistic than the next edition. The adventure book is probably where improvements could be made, with stories sometimes seeming to have an abrupt or incomplete ending. The choose your own adventure and push your luck aspect with a bit of city building and collecting of resources makes this always a joy to play. We still play it, and we hope one day the adventure book will get a refresh to give this base game more diversity after many plays.

So we decided to buy it and try it out (and make the organiser for them now available on our website). I can say this game is quite pleasant. A bit of bidding for the cards, and resources, and then claim your winnings to build your industrial engine! You'll want to produce and get that engine fine tuned in order to compete with your opponents. After bidding everyone plays out their own engine, of which all players do at the same time (so we don't unnecessarily slow down the game). This does require a bit of honesty between all players, and during a teach you'll want to take turns running your engine to ensure all players understand the mechanics. But once everyone is up to speed, the game really takes off with no downtime, regrouping at the start of the next round to bid against your opponents. I like to think of this game have two phases - Phase 1 player interaction (bidding), Phase 2 solo play (engine run).

You're free to place the patch anywhere on your board that doesn't overlap other patches, but you probably want to fit things together as tightly as possible. If your time token is behind or on top of the other player's time token, then you take another turn; otherwise the opponent now goes.

The player takes the turn by moving their figure to a free action tile, using its action immediately. Contract action tiles offer different kind of actions, e. g., getting or trading goods, activating factories, or doubling the next action. Architect action tiles feature the central build action, which is used to build the city center. In order to build, the player needs to pay the depicted goods of an available building and then place that building in the middle of the circle. New buildings have to be orthogonally adjacent to already-placed buildings. In the beginning of the game, the city grid is undefined and players can add buildings wherever they want. Once the dimensions of the grid are either 5×4 or 4×5, the city center is defined and players can only fill out gaps until the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebulding is built and the 4×5\/5×4 grid is complete.
