This is a game that is easy to learn and teach but has more depth and strategy than you would ever expect. Portal is an awesome game publisher... so when I saw they had published this game and it's on Amazon for... less than $20... why wouldn't I buy it!There is a simple rule set and an open drafting tile system that makes discussing the rules mid-game not a problem, like many card games where all the info is secret. Every turn is filled with meaningful choices and a depth that is surprising in this simple tile placement game. This is a game you will gladly bring to the table over and over again.Trust me, for this low price, the production quality and gameplay are outstanding... Buy it now!

Played this with my wife the other night. I was surprised at how deep some of the decisions can be given such a simple rule set. Took less than 5 minutes to read the rules. Your main goal is to score areas of the same color by having a majority of workers those areas, easy enough, right? Its just a normal tile laying game, right? Nope. There are actions to squeeze in an extra worker to get the majority points or ways to cut your opponent's huge scoring areas. Oh and the components are great - thick cardboard tiles and wooden playing pieces. Even better, the game comes with an expansion in the box. That was a nice little surprise!Good choice in publishing this one Portal Games!
