The artwork on the box usually creates my first impression of a board game. And, this box did indeed attract me to it ... the same was true for some of the friends in my gaming group. Next, I felt that the component quality was very good as well. Everything was clean and felt like it matched the box artwork.Once the game was underway, each player's turn was pretty quick and there was very little downtime in between turns. Occassionally, you had spend a little more time thinking about your next move, but there was no major "analysis paralysis" and the game moved along at a really good pace.There are a number of board game mechanisms going on at the same time:* worker placement*tile laying*goals*resource managementThe end result? A really fun little game that is light, yet strategic. I liked the fact that your turn decision was based on a set of tiles that continually rotated conveyor-belt style. And, new tiles were added to this as certain achievements were reached. The games seem to last about 45 minutes with 3 people. This will appeal to a broad range of gamers from casual to seasoned!
