I recently got this game - yesterday in fact. It plays very well indeed and I think given you can play in around 15 minutes something I will play often. I did a review if you are interested:

Looks very interesting. Cost?
Now isn't that weird! I could have sworn when I first read it that it said something about £17? Just went back and can't find it.

yes, you are right £17 (third paragraph from the end). I got it for £16.99 from Board Game Guru in with a lot of other games to share out postage costs. IGUK have it for £18.49 delivered. Games Lore have it for £15.99 with postage on top of that
Sounds interesting
That looks just the thing for holiday, shame I'd have no one to play with!

That is pretty cool, thanks for posting.

Nice post. I picked mine up last week. I thought the cards looked glorious, but was surprised that the map was fairly under-coloured compared to the thee panel rule cover, though perhaps in view of the wooden blocks, they are going for look that you get with the pale map illustrations that you get in books with bright red and blue units superimposed - for the birds eye view.
Anyway, nice to have something that is so completely different - though I don't feel that a 15 minute game of itself is something to champion.
