Yeah, I felt exactly the same way about this game...beautiful art, but your choices are severly limited in terms of practicality. Both times I played this game (4p and 5p), I felt the 'Puerto Rico' effect looming over me - that is, most of the time you're forced to pick the 'least worst' option instead of doing something you might actually want to do. I really dislike games that 'handcuff' you in this way, even if they are fairly light and finish in 30-60 minutes.Maybe I'll consider trying it again with the Crossroads expansion, but I think I'm done with the base game.
