CARPE DIEM REVIEW
7.2 out of 10
Designer Stephan Feld has carved out this niche for making high-quality complex set collection games. You are putting together sets over time in a simple way but where it gets very layered and intense is in the depth in options. Carpe Diem is not the absolute best in his catalog but it is a ton of fun and does his style justice. You have so many different things you can build within your personal area and they all have countless configurations. There is much too do but not much space. The touches of drafting that drive decisions make the game interesting but are nothing ground breaking. Overall a solid choice, especially if you like other games from this designer.
