Was it for this my life I sought? Maybe so, Maybe not.

I believe three games of this were played. It was OK. Nothing special in my opinion. I am surprised by the comparisons to Carcassonne as these games do not really feel at all alike.

Superficial comparisons at best, but it does have tiles, meeples, and some similar scoring.

Set up a lot of the PBF framework for BSG, Runewars, Small World, The Devil's Castle. PBF in Gears of War, Death Angel, A Game of Thrones. Currently playing Twilight Struggle, Middle-Earth Quest and Eclipse on Vassal.

I'm anal about using the right terms to describe games and have posted an alternative glossary to the inconsistent sprawl in BGG's database and lexicon that is clear, accurate and simple. I care big time about my reviews, ratings and comments.
