Vibe's take

Strategic, expansive, competitive, thematic

Who it's for

Euro gamers who enjoy worker placement with a thematic colonial setting. Best at 3-4 players with 2 hours available for a full session.

Not for you if…

Skip if colonial themes are unappealing or you want a quick game. The video game name sets expectations the board game doesn't quite match.
