I agree with the problems with the easels, not sure how long they will last. I did get a run away win in one of my plays as got 2 advisors who let you trade 3 resources to move up castle track, I had moved far enough in front that no one else scored the 2nd place. Still an enjoyable game plays fairly well.

I backed the deluxe version on Kickstarter. When I got it I was on the fence to open or sell. Over time, my excitement had faded. Eventually, I did open it and was immediately frustrated with the painting pieces. We haven't played it yet...

I have it, enjoyed it. I never actually knocked my easel over, but I get that (everyone else did). I knew the low points totals would be an issue for Tom here, to me it isn't important - it means you push for being top of the top-left track and the three point bonus is bigger than it would otherwise be. The extra stuff (labyrinth and other modules) is worth it, we immediately put the maze and 'missions/objectives' ones in, nice and easy and adds a few more points.

Done a review myself and I enjoy the game also, but share some of the issues about components. I didn't have an issue with the points part, more that the game length got a bit ridiculous at 4-5 players. I don't believe you're getting 4-5 player games done in 60 minutes, especially not 5! :P

Played the Kickstarter version a little while ago. This one I’m in two minds, a like the theme, I like the dice placement, I like building the painting. What is not good…the deluxe version is far from deluxe, the easel is two fiddly, as are the other components, the board is way way too small. Long-term plays I’m not sure there are that many strategies to win. The person with the most picture parts will most likely be the winner. It just seems if it needed more thought and design, multiple ways to win, deluxe components should have been way better.

I backed both this and Dice Theme Park. DTP I know I'll enjoy, this is a bit iffy. Hoping my family likes it, we do enjoy dice placement a lot.

Was hoping for a better review (game I guess). The Dice placement and the fact that you hide your dice and then reveal pushed my over the edge to get the deluxe, hasnt arrived yet, but wondering if I might sell it. Those screens looked tiny!

Unfortunately overall its not worked for me which is a shame. I agree with Tom. Theres a great game hidden in here, but its let down by the below par graphic design, everything is way too small, and I find i end up with lots of resources and tokens, but nothing to do with them. You can always do what you want, so its essentially a race to get features before other players. It would be a good gateway game, if it were not a bit overwhelming to learn, fiddly and read the board.

Tom, by the sound of review this looks like an unpolished game in terms of things that can be easily improved in game play and production, am I right?

I don't think it can be improved "easily". It's a £33 game with a lot of pieces in it. In order to improve it it would need to be in a taller, more sturdier box and have all the pieces printed larger (including making the main board twice the current size). That would never fit into £33 budget.
