La Gran Feria

1-4 players (still waiting on this to be shipped) - Tile laying game where you're building out a circus. It has little tetris pieces where you have to build your path and then you can build circus attractions on top of them. You're each trying to lay out your circus in the way that earns you the most points. Very easy to learn, but very hard to be good at.

Tier 5- Simply average OR negatives outweigh the positives— can play if I have to! Lovely theme and production. Whats better than board where you lay down one layer polyominoes? Well, TWO layers of course! It was a must-buy for me however it did not live up. I found the core puzzle a little too deterministic. It did not matter what I wanted to do, what I could do was based on the randomness of tiles showing up and limitation of number of actions. The scoring was kind of strange too— it did not motivate me enough to try fun /crazy things. I dont get why more than a certain number of tickets are not worth anything (thematically as well mechanically) . At the cost of adding a bit more complexity, i think the decisions could be made more fun if different attractions had different effects when placed, or scored in different ways or had certain placement rules etc. I don't always think more depth = more fun, but this game seems it needs something more. A game about setting up a carnival needs a lot more "fun". An example of even simpler polyomino tile placement game which works so very well is SPRING MEADOW. It seems more complete even though it is a lot simpler in rules/ complexity.
