This game was a lot of fun.  I picked it up pretty quickly and figured out that the best way to go about playing is to specialise, and then use that speciality as much as possible.  I started out with two upgrades on the food track and quickly picked up a building that game me the third.  I used that to get a ton of food and then used the trading center to exchange the food for other resources.  I didn’t use the aspects of paying to go back nearly enough, and I didn’t do as much picking up and replacing as much as I could have.  I’d really like to play it again, as I think I could do much better.  I played with Adam, Nick, and Brian.  Adam ended up winning, but by only one point to my close second.
