For me, this game was a huge let down. Felt like too many ideas thrown together and they didn't seem t connect. Was a nightmare to learn and gameplay just wasnt worth the time investment. The colour blend meeple mechanic was a really neat idea, but got lost in an overly convoluted design. Played twice and sold on.
