At the start of each round, action tokens are distributed from a bag to the spaces in the action areas. Each token has a number representing the cost of that action in shell tokens. This process is a little fiddly, since first you fill some spaces, then come back and start from the top filling the rest so long as a math equation comparing the sums of tokens lines up. It's mildly annoying to have to start each round this way. Then players in turn order can spend feet tokens to walk their action pawn to a space with an action token. Claim that token, pay the cost, and resolve the action. The cost is one foot per tile. They can also pay twice as much as the cost token to gain an extra effect. Claimed tokens go in front of you, and at the end of the round there's a check to see if players picked up enough tokens so the sum at least hits the stated amount on the round indicator, and then there's a majority scoring for who got the highest sum of tokens. The intent being that there's some tension between wanting to spend double for the extra effect, but then that will hurt your end of round majority chances. Really though, the game is restrictive to the point of feeling a little dull. To make the end of round scoring you are pressured to overspend. Action tokens are very limited, with randomly determined boom and bust rounds depending on what price ends ups where and how many tokens make it into any given space. Most of the actions get you a tile to add to your board. Generally, the two paths through the game are to go for lots of tiles in the same row or trying to get something to score in all your rows to hit the maximum bonus threshold. It's fine, but feels needlessly limited in the face of similar games like Yokohama. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ★ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ★ Multiple plays stay interesting ★ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★★☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
