Is it just me, or does this game rely on everyone understanding all of the rules 100% as if you buy the wrong things early on, it drastically hinders you for the game with no way of climbing back.
We had a game thos evening (granted our first) but one of the players, as soon as he'd slipped behind in the FP total, he pretty much stayed that way for the game, and similar for the winner. Once gained a head start that was it, he was off.
It just seems to me that there is only one or 2 strategies and if not chosen there is next to now way of making a decent name for yourself.

But again it was our 1st game, so I guess we'll see what happens next time.

Having read through the rules again (realising a couple of errors we previously made) and played another couple of games, my previous comment is rather mute.

Still dont understand the Taberna though.
