Very good familiar eurogame from the same author as Splendor. On the same line, but for me, much more interesting. More thematic, more interaction, more funny.

In this game, there is a conveyor belt of cards. Players take turns buying one of the cards, then adding the card they bought to that card's matching building and then activating the ability of the building, which tends to give a better effect the more cards you've stacked under it. This creates some nice tension with the endgame scoring process, where you get points based on how many different buildings you put cards under. The game part of the game is you get a special budget of meeples that you can use to take a card further up the belt, but when you do so you money-up the cards you skipped over. There's also a type of card that attacks other players for not having gotten defense cards, so you need to keep an eye on what other players are going for in that respect at least. This is a nice, light game. One of the things I find most compelling is the way the game keeps you attuned to what other players are up to by offering another end game scoring criteria which is a majority calculation for each type of cards. Good overall, great for a quick meaty filler. ★ 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
