I like this game, very cool art. Don't understand why it is so underrated. As for me it is better than Scythe.

Auction programming is definitely the highlight of the game, very interesting mechanic. Great production value!

That was one crunchy spin on worker placement. A lot of this game is trying to outwit your opponents and time your plays just right with the placement of your advisors. The power of your advisor also being tied to when they actually get to take the action is very clever.

The second half is executing those placements and translating them onto the main board as efficiently as possible. Great Game.

Reminds me a lot of Shogun where winning battles is not the key but moving around getting influence and getting your buildings down. A lot like Shogun in that way.

Kickstarter Ed.

The best part of the game is about the action programming and we will have to bid for the sequence (and power level) when we placing advisors onto strategic planning board. The bribing part makes the game have so much of depth.

Game length are sweet spot, 4 rounds with a total of 19 actions only, making your planning of the game very tense and has to ensure every of your action is efficient and safe at the same time (if you trying to be ambitious).

Game component is awesome, comes with self-made game tray which made the game setup easy and fast, also very space efficient when keeping everything into the box.

To me this is a game with little here and there. Theme is not strong and the whole game is okay (7/10).

Verdict of the game: Gameplay: 7.0/10 Components: 8.5/10 Replayability: 9.0/10 Learning Curve: 3.0/10 (fairly easy to learn)
