I was tempted to give this game 3 stars because it's not quite deep enough for my preferences, but I was also tempted to give it 5 stars because it's one of the best, most fun games for people looking for this level of game. I split the difference and gave it 4 stars. It can be a little frustrating how much luck is a factor, but that also helps the game zip along because you don't have much information to go on so there's nothing to give you analysis paralysis. Every once in a while I catch myself thinking for a minute or more on a turn and then I'm like, "Come on Luke, it's not that type of game." Which is a fun change of pace for someone who usually plays much heavier games. It's also a beautiful game and a cute theme, which can make a big difference. There aren't that many different strategies to explore. Just plan a move or two ahead, make productive moves, go with the best options the game gives you, and try to play the odds of the dice.
