There are 7 turns in a round that get split up between the players. Since we had four players, someone would only get one turn each round, while the rest would get two. On your turn you can either take resources or use a building (buy moving your token into the building.) You finish your turn with a buying and selling action\u00e2\u20ac\u201dbasically buying things you need, like buildings. We hardly ever sold anything.<\/p>\n<p>One of the basic \u00e2\u20ac\u0153screw\u00e2\u20ac\u009d points of the game is planning. Maybe you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re planning to build a building or to use a building to further your plans. Odds are that build won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be available when it comes around to your turn or you were forced to use your resources for something else so your plans crumble to dust. Also, food became a major resource as you needed more and more of it at the end of each round.<br \/>\nEveryone seemed to struggle during the game except Mike. He cruised through to an easy win with 96 points. Owen and I were fighting not to be in last place. Owen won that battle\u00e2\u20ac\u201djust barely. Ben came in second with 59 points. Owen got the coveted third place finish with 54 and I was 1 point behind him.<\/p>\n<p>One last point, it may sound like I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like the game. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not true at all. I did like the game. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re planning on playing it again soon so we can crush Mike\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6or better learn the game.
