There's so little feedback for this game. The art looks great and I'm drawn to the theme...
Seems strange to me that not one person has completed the "User Suggested # of Players" poll.
Also, there seem to be a lot of comments along the lines of, "have to play it more before I know for sure..."
Is this game too new for people to have come to any conclusions? or too forgettable?
EDIT: Oops! According to RGG's site this game is not yet released, according to Thoughthammer it's scheduled to be released Q1 of 2012. So I think it's just a typo on the main page saying it was published in 2011.
Just curious though, does anyone know why there are used copies in the marketplace?

It was available for purchase at BGG.Con
I tried the game twice with a buddy and we gave up although I think we gave up too early. We didn't want to waste too much time learning a new game when there was so much to play.
Truth is we felt both times that each player does way too much each round and it just felt weird. I'm not convinced we were playing it correctly but we gave it the good old college try.

Yeah, I'd like another crack at that one before I totally make up my mind. Something didn't seem quite right when we played it, Makis. Great looking game, like you said, Armand. Definitely worth checking out.

It was available in Europe in 2011. I ordered mine through BGG. I have only played it twice, though, so I don't feel experienced enough to say how many players it plays best with. It was fine with 3 and 4, but I don't know what 2 would be like.
I enjoyed it a great deal, enough to order it from overseas even though it was likely that RGG would be releasing it. Unfortunately, I have not had any opportunity to play it again since I got my copy.
tl;dr: too new.

Pretty sure 4 is the right number, to the point where I am reluctant to play again with 3 and would not consider it with 2.

It was available at Essen where I got my copy. Definately worth a try but the limit to what you can borrow can result in a race for the bottom.
If you are the first to a debt of -21, then when you pay your interest you will go to the top of the stack on -22 which means you will go first in the next turn. If you have invested in a stack of stuff selling first can be game winning, especialy if others have gone down the same route as it will depress the market and devalue thier stock.
Last time we played we just removed the artificial limit and it seemed to work OK.
I think we played 1 interst for up to 20 overdrawn, 2 for 20, to 40 and 3 over 40.

You should consider posting that as a thread in the variants subforum.

Since it is now available in the states, you might get more of a response to your question. I believe the early copies were from Essen 2011 that made it to BGG.con
I have been waiting a while for it, but didn't seek out the early copies. Now, that I have played it, I can say it has some good meat. With all the worker placement and deck builders, it is a nice change to get a good 'ol thematic Euro that uses simple actions and money to buy/sell/ship/gain comodities. I was pleasantly surprised it didn't have worker placement with all of the buildings in it. You can gain ownership of the buildings, but it isn't worker placement.
