Quadropolis

Very simple but strategical game, love it!

Rating based on one play. I love the way the scoring system reflected a solid theme of how your city would be. But it was significantly more of a brain burner than it seemed from the rules description. A very much points optimisation exercise.

Interesting drafting mechanism that reminds me of El Grande in that it's a two stage puzzle; first you have to pick the tile by counting over, and then you're bound to place it by what number you used to acquire it. Relatively solitary and passive in it's interaction, it plays better at 4 than 3 (the two counts I've tried) due to how tight the acquisition incentives are at 4. It's a fast game that is visually rather attractive, but ultimately not much meat to eat. I'd be willing to play it a few more times, but I don't think I'd buy it.

Very enjoyable, interesting, game. I love it.

After 4 times playing 2 player and 1 time 4 player, I like it 4 the best, 2 works, but for my partner too much AP for me when playing 2 player (he thinks it's meh) For trade because I mostly only play 2 player, yet only willing to ship this heavy game for Wishlist item 1 games. (I enjoy 4 player anyway so if it doesn't trade oh well)

Easy to learn but you'll need many plays to control it.
