✅ The artwork is incredible with highly detailed animals in some of the fanciest outfits imaginable. ✅ Different building tiles create some variety and a unique decision space to focus on various ways to move ahead. ✅ Affecting the commodity prices is interesting and creates situations where it sometimes pays to wait it out. ✅ Paper money may not be the greatest thing, yet it works well in this case and feels rather sturdy. ✅ Flipping over a new town can sometimes be excellent when the right commodities have been saved up. ✅ Most buildings have clear descriptions printed on them and referencing the rules for them is rather uncommon.

❌ There is an astonishing amount of overhead to run the solo opponent and constantly calculate sums every round. ❌ Solo actions are extremely random and don’t feel like they simulate a logical opponent working towards victory. ❌ While the base game is fairly straightforward, the solo mode introduces way too many ambiguities and confusion. ❌ Gameplay drags on with an emphasis on avoiding the railroad shares to plan guaranteed paths to victory points.
