Skyrise

Great game. Easy to learn and play. The moving auction made for some interesting tough decisions. You can make some clever plays and corner things off. I liked the area control aspect as well. There was even hints of bluffing putting a larger number down with no actual desire to win the bid but the intention of making an opponent use up a larger numbered piece to outbid. Sometimes it worked great, sometimes I got caught.

Collectors edition is also great quality.

First play impressions. Elegant auction game that feels both like a nostalgic return to classic euros and a breath of fresh air. Easy to teach, but strategically tricky. May increase rating with more plays. The KS edition is beautiful and creates a very aesthetically pleasing experience, although I wish the insert had removable trays per player so each player wouldn't need to set up their bids before starting.

The kickstarter deluxe edition of this game is stunning. Roxley games puts a ton of effort into production quality and it shows. The buildings and pieces are all gorgeous and the gold embossed cards feel luxurious.

Gameplay-wise, it's very simple at first but the strategy opens up as the board gets tighter and tighter when more pieces open up. I would love an expansion to give more secret objectives, there are only 4 (each the same except for the color of the neighborhood you're trying to score), and more panorama scoring cards.

It has a lot going for it. Complexity is about Ticket to Ride. Feels unique and old school - very simple turn structure, clear ways to score that overlap. Some variety in Wonders and in-game conditions for scoring an Era. I'm looking forward to more plays. The game weight and lovely look means I can probably get it to the table easily.

Absolutely loved it. Felt unique, easy to learn and hard to master. Even a game my family would love. It's actually quite easy to teach, but the decisions are challenging but quick to make. The production is incredible and feels incredibly deluxe.

Even opening the box felt like a special occasion.

Interesting but more off a filler than a game. It's hard for me because it doesn't give me great insight into where I am against my goals, whats happening, I personally feel less in control. However I love the look and feel of the game so it will probably stay around for a while.

I feel like my love for this may be drying ups just a bit, we'll see.

Game of bidding with surprising depth especially with the pace of your bids and knowing when to give up. Good introductory game.

Very pleasant experience, a tight competition for space with some hidden information and attempts at laying traps and inducing overcommitment. Only played 2p so far, 4p might be really interesting.
