*well-written rules *complexity for a short game; lots of decision-making*small box (5 different covers were printed), small price (~$20)*good replayability; it feels like there are many paths to victory
Cons
*it's difficult to tell the Guild colors apart in low light; *the icons on the Lord and Location cards are small and tough to differentiate*the cards are dark and show wear from of all of the shuffling almost immediately
