I bought it years ago, it was not love on first sight. But I gave it another try, and it is love now nonetheless. A peaceful, calm puzzler with a fantastic sound track.

Honestly one of my favorite puzzle/management games. Owned it for at least 3 years now, and I keep coming back to it every 6 months. Everything is well produced. It has a wide ranges of difficulty options. All the different techs and research are interesting. It's quick to grasp but hard to master. I'll keep coming back to it.

Recommend with a two caveats. 1) This is a good game. But it's a small game and probably only worth buying while it's on sale. 2) This is not a game you can 'win'. It's effectively a score chaser game. In board game terms, it'd be a Solitare Euro. Now, it is quite difficult and that helps it be interesting but ultimately it's a game where each run lasts an arbitrary number of turns and your goal is to score as high as possible in that duration. If this isn't an objective style you can hack, I would not recomend you pick this up.

This is the right "amount" of game. In a world where every game seems to keep conjuring up a black hole of endless new stuff that wipes out the original meaning, here stands a game with defined parameters, and challenging puzzles that can be solved many ways.
