BGG tends to skew toward longer games (at least in the highest spots), and the components for this one are fairly basic (Pandemic-like pawns, pretty much). It also has more theme than a lot of Euros.

Sign me up! Plus the fact that you'll score points even when you're attacked should help mitigate the spite factor. I'm wondering if the card drafting mechanic and its central influence on game play creates too much randomness for most gamers and that's why this one has been low on most radars and rankings?Jasonhttp://www.spielemitkinder.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
