Anyone played this, I've had a few games of this with mates and become addicted to it. Anyone else?

Sounds a bit like Puerto Rico....
A good designer, would not mind giving that a try one day

Puerto Rico is my favourite board game...

The random element is what cards you get in the courtyard, sometimes you just don't get any regular customers or helpers when you need them most. Or getting extra fields early on.

It's in my top 5 as well, really wanted to get the anniversary edition when it came out just before xmas, but £75 was a bit steep.... :cry:

Just checked it out, most of it looks good, not sure about the building and bank sheet being blue, and the barrels are now crates, but meh.
