Agreed. This is one of my current favorites. It was a gift for my girlfriend actually and she really enjoys it, and we played with her sister too (who is a non-gamer) and she also really liked it, and had no problems understanding it. This game should be a lot more popular than it is. It's a gorgeous-looking game that's fun and lightweight, yet has some very interesting decisions. It's all in how you play. I've had to make some really tough choices in this game - agonizing at times. And we haven't even played with the expansions yet.It can be played passive and friendly, or more aggressively, as there are definitely many opportunities to block your opponents from completing goals , or getting in their way so they can't target a space they were hoping for. As I said, it's all in how you choose to play it.
