The blueprint drafting adds a nice layer of planning before you even touch the resource pile, so it never feels like blind luck. First playthrough took us about an hour and we immediately reset for round two.

Got this for game night and the resource-gathering phase had everyone leaning over the table arguing about blueprints. Delivering the finished buildings is way more satisfying than I expected. We've played four times in two weeks.

The sky-city setting is so imaginative, and I love that every building I place actually changes the skyline I’m looking at. Even the blueprint phase feels rewarding, and resource gathering never gets tedious. I’ve already lost an entire evening to it.
