Nice review as always Joel. I like this one quite a bit too, though I have the original and the many, many expansions made for that one. I don’t see too much difference between the two other than the commerce/windmill token. If you have the lead in commerce, can you still take resources from other players, or did they do away with that?
One variant I have played and like quite a bit is using two production dice. This really speeds the game up, and keeps it from “resource drag” as you wait to get what you need.
Thanks Geof. Was definitely surprised by this one.
