Alta jugabilidad, la verdad es super adictivo, si bien te castiga el juego con una mala elección, me parece que rompe con los euro pesados, la verdad fue super llevadero. Lo recomiendo 100%

Comprada la edición holandesa en pedido a bélgica en Julio 2012. Al final no me cogió el dinero Marc, y me lo regaló por mi cumple, junto con el endeavor. Juego de gestión de recursos en la Inglaterra del surgimiento de la era moderna (la máquina de vapor y tal). Me encantó. Tiene muchas variables que controlar y hay muchas formas de ganar. Lo conocí en Dic 2009 gracias a una sesión con Canales.

A masterpiece. With simple and highly thematic rules the game gives you hard choices, planning and a lot of interaction between players, with 2 actions for turn. Your actions are limited by your hand of cards, you must decide how and when to use them to gain board presence, improve your economy and production technology and score points by the end of each of 2 eras.
