I don't know what I thought I'd find here, but it wasn't what I wanted it to be. If I want to play A Few Acres of Snow, I should just play A Few Acres of Snow. Accept no substitutes. I guess I was drawn to the idea that the deck of event cards would keep the game different across multiple plays, but in practice the event deck was just full of very harsh and random effects that kept wiping away turns and turns of build-up to a die roll. Big pass on this for me. Component wise, we ran into a lot of cards that didn't seem clear as to how they functioned with no appendix in the rulebook to check. There are also a few procedural rules you have to just remember despite there being opportunities to have things written on the player boards or the central board itself. ☆ 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
