This is a typically good German style game but what Wallace always seems to manage to do is throw some theme in as well. Excellent start to the Treefrog line

This is a very good game. Rules are very well written and the game play is fast and I have enjoyed all three games I have played.

Slowly becoming a Martin Wallace fan, although the majority of the games I have played and loved have been his more recent works which play in a shorter amount of time. I will eventually try to play his older works, just more convenient to play the stuff that finishes in an hour and a half with our game group. Really like this as a tight, fun, and fast playing economic euro.

Sweet theme! Great elegance. At top of turn roll dice to determine market price for tin and copper (on different price scales) Actions include: Auction mines, mining (purchase and fill mine with water cube) build enhancements, sell pasties (for a pound) and pass. The action track is updated and immediately affects turn order. Victory points are acquired by end of turn purchases.

After playing twice in one night, I am convinced that this is one of Wallace's most appealing economic games. I enjoy it even more than Brass due to its elegance. The rules are straight forward and there are no exceptions, which leads to a smoothly flowing game. There are a remarkable amount of nuances to consider, which was quite a surprise. I really enjoy this game, and think it is worth a purchase if you like econ games, even with the rough USD/GBP conversion rate.
