Also, woodworking that pairs different wood together for accents/inlays absolutely are "worth more" in the real world. A maple table with a purple heart accent piece or ebony trim will go for a lot more and is also a better test of craftsmanship.

I liked the game, played it today for the first time 🙂 A very good dice placement game, creative and original mechanisms combined with a lovely theme!! 😊 Also like the action selection process with the various bonuses available and mitigation with lanterns etc! Upgrading your tools etc! Will love to play it again, everyone liked it in our round of 3 players! You need at least one play to get into it the game and get a bit of an overview though, because all the symbols and effects can seem a bit overwhelming at first! But once you get it, it's cool!! 😊 I recommend it!! 🙂

I don't know how it plays, but I really love the action selection wheel, it's a really smart way to make adding bonuses to less used actions so they are worth more over time, and preventing people from just using the same action again and again. You do have the lanterns if you really want a different action, and I don't know about the balance of the bonuses as you mentioned that they are not worth it compared to actually doing the action you want, but the central idea of how it's done I love.

For me this ties the best Suchy game with UWC. Praga for me is a total miss for the theme, and the game play in that just feels lackluster. You build a city piece, you advance on a track, or you advance on the wall, or you just improve your stuff. This game is pure contract filling, and a puzzle how to squeeze out most contracts with the same amount of turns, and also not being too greedy as the leftover contracts are going to kill your game.

Think I gave it a 7, but will likely drop to a 6. The main issue was that the card display dictates how your game goes. You start well on tools, but then no cards come out that give out more tools, you've wasted your time on those previous contracts collecting tools then because you don't get enough time to change strategies mid-game. I need a bunch of reptuation as I'm falling behind, ah no, the cards coming out don't offer reputation, I guess I'm screwed then on reputation. Each game also plays out fairly similarly to the last one in terms of game arc and flow. Underwater Cities and Pulsar 2849 are much better Vladimir games.

I have not played it multiplayer yet, but four times solo now. And in two of those games I ended up with seven and six tools in the attic and scored 118 and 151 points respectively. So the tools definitely works in the solo game. I give it a 9 for the solo experience.
@Crs9072

The game offers you a selection of starting contracts, and you keep four of those. You should finish at least those four, and then do extra ones as you see fit, and have resources. Those four starting contracts should give you the general objective of the game, and should you focus on something or not. If the two normal contracts you keep have tools, then it's likely a solid choice to look for more tools. If you don't have any tools in the starting ones, don't play with tools strategy. And remember that tools are just a bonus, especially if there is no end game scoring card available for them. The reputation is not as crucial as you make it sound. You are likely going to score anywhere from 6 to 9 contracts during the game. So every two steps on the reputation track is thus 6 to 9 points in the end. You can surely get those points some other way if you are not getting reputation from the contracts. The third saw blade gives you 3 steps, and it's likely you will get at least one from somewhere else.
@TheBrokenMeeple

@@Crs9072 The starting contracts don't impact on what comes out of the deck. From experience I can start with tools and then never see another card with tools again. So I wasted my time getting initial tools while someone else is harvesting rep or straight up points.

Hi Luke. Love your channel by the way. I think you were very unlucky not to see any tools at all in the game mentioned. If you start with two orders with tools, then you actually only need to grab one more during the game to have five tools (you get two tools from the tracks). And 36% of the orders is with tools, so in most games it should be possible to get at least one.
