Difficult to rate a game that you do not understand. After playing Age of Industry, I had a feeling I had not really understood the game. This has been even worse here. It is just too complex, full of exceptions, and anti-intuitive. Anti-elegant. Actions and behaviours of buildings do not seem to make any sense (totally opposite to other Wallace games, like Automobile). I understand that people find it very challenging (surely it is), but I just do not need this, it just makes me feel like an idiot.

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.
