My BGG Comment

Deckbuilder with a „numbered market“ (cards will slide into the market according to their natural ordering). Your deck will not automatically return to your hand, you get to have recover actions and it is a „last in first out“ stack with payment needed for more than 3 cards. So whatever is at the bottom will stay there. With those cards you build up the shared map with fields, cities, roads (no boats) and production. Yes, there is also some resource management. I felt the general idea of the stack quite interesting, the cards themselves and the map buildup was a bit boring but I have only played solo. Like most FF games I have played, it feels as if this one could do with a bit more polish.
