Couldn't disagree more!
I think it makes for a great game. As I said earlier, to me there is very little point in a spin-off repeating what's already happened in the base game, and this takes that on board. It uses the Carcassonne concept and then makes it play very differently. It really stretches the player and makes him plan ahead and think about his strategy. I will grant you that the scoring takes some getting used to but it's OK once grasped.... the player aid cards are best left in the bottom of the box mind!
'the Scoreboard only goes up to 50'.... er, pretty standard Carcassonne scoreboard then! All of them only go up to 50. Methinks someone has got a bit to used to using his home made scoreboards maybe?!
Regards your Star Wars comment... perhaps you give yourself away there, possibly explaining the Discovery comments too.... 'It ain't Carcassonne so I ain't playing it'??
The Discovery - Not good - art is terrible and the game play is boring. not playing this again. Anyone want to buy it?
South Seas - This we love - we have played this a fair few times and really like the fact you dont use a score board. We enjoy the trading element and it makes it even better that we have a blue banana in our set!
I love the Carcassonne spin-offs. They all have their charm. Except for seas of south seas and amazonas that both the theme and the mechanics I don't like very much. Personally following the medieval theme I stay with The city and The castle. I think I would do two rankings based on the decade.2000-2010:-The city-The castle-Ark of the covenant-Hunters and gatherers-A new world-The discovery2010-Present:-Star Wars-Over the hill and dale-Safari-Goldrush-Amazon-Mars of the South
- Ark of the covenant (not played)-The discovery-A new world
