    "Surprisingly cool" is a good way to put it.
    "You lay down tiles and make roads and towns and farms...why are you looking at me like that? It's fun!"

    the first time we played i thought i had a solid strategy of snatching up all the churches i could. (cloisters or whatever they call them) not realizing how many gaps there would be in the board at game's end. i didn't get a single church "completed". my kids spend pretty much the whole game building tiny "insta-cities" and fighting over roads. they trounced me solidly. not so clever after all.

    I had the mobile version before we got the actual game, so I'd had some practice. We've played four or five times and she's come close before, but never won. She was pretty happy tonight.

    stealing farms is the key to victory

    Farms were my strategy last night and they didn't help.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
