First impressions: I like it just about as much as I expected. The bidding phase is really fun and unique (it's like a bidding / worker placement hybrid), the compensation system is great. The production phase (a.k.a. cube pushing) is nothing outstanding, but it is solid and satisfying, too. Elegant, both in looks and gameplay. Keeper for now, we'll see if it gets old anytime soon. That said, there's an odd disconnection between the innovative, interactive and exciting bidding phase and the somewhat dry, basic and silent production phase, but somehow it still works. I'm looking forward to the expansion, I'm wondering if it will only bloat the gameplay or if it will truly improve its weaker parts.

#42 (mit Matte in Schachtel) Very nice auction mechanism and engine building. After played twice, the strategy seems clear, go for the buildings which can give you 2x8 VPs or 2x7. Unfortunately it's a little bit a multiplayer solitaire.
