基础建筑作为延伸建筑的根基刷出来的概率有些太低了，一局游戏的中期就很容易出现死都刷不出某一个基础建筑的情况。本身游戏中期金币又是重要资源，经常会因为刷不出某种建筑导致直接失败。建议高级建筑不要通过低级建筑升级，或者给基础建筑一个保底的购买选项。 另外游戏第一回合就半死不活的概率高的不合理，如果第一回合没有拿到贸易站或者倍率食谱，香料也不在海边的话一年就死的几率不低。感觉有些初期的成长曲线不太合理导致经常一年就重开，这并不是这类游戏健康的曲线设计

This is a solid game that scratches the number gets bigger and one more turn.

You can pet the dragon

A roguelike "deckbuilder" with gameplay very much Settlers of Catan. For those of you who don't know what that is, the relevant part is that you place buildings on the corners of hexagons, and the hexagons have randomly assigned dice rolls. The buildings then do things, potentially affected by the dice rolls, which you have some control over. Already sound complex? It gets even crazier. There's a wide variety of buildings with different bonuses, recipes that use resources and provide bonuses, single-use tools that can affect the board, your recipes and your buildings, and boss and dragon "modifiers", and that's only what I've seen so far. This is a game with a lot of love and thought, and no doubt thousands of hours of playtesting. It is also the kind of game that expects you to sit and think and deliberate, which is not necessarily my cup of tea. Nonetheless, it's been overall fun and hits the right brain-chemicals to bring me joy in this world. If it sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd recommend it! It focuses a lot more on planning and thought and interacting pieces than most deckbuidling roguelikes, though.

One of those "I would be neutral if I could", but I chose to refund so guess that's a negative. The mechanics are neat, the setting is novel, and the gameplay progression feels both polished and intuitive. Also the voice acting and art are top notch, especially with the low bar so many games set these days. However, this is why I decided to refund: After stumbling with mechanics for a couple games I hit a really good combo. But I realized the entire process of building the combo felt very bland, and I wasn't proud or excited about it at all. Get economy, use economy to reroll for good T3 building, use economy to buff T3 building. There was no "oooo, I found this cool combo!" that a great engine game inspires me with when learning it for the first time. If I'm already bored with the combos I don't see myself putting in the hours. If I had to put my finger on why, it was the limited way that recipes, dice, and the board synergize. The most interesting mechanic for me was recipes, but upgrading them is incredibly expensive. They also didn't encourage specialization they way I expected? No "oh I have a dairy recipe, I should specialize in dairy tiles". So long as I got *any* dairy at all, it was operating at 100% efficiency even though my major food type was wheat. The few recipes that felt like they paired with specialization were 30% bonuses, which is nothing compared to other recipes that straight out multiply your entire score by X (essence recipes).

小丑牌 + 卡坦岛 + 龙 ，卡坦岛的核心保留的很好，像是作者第一次玩卡坦岛后直接上头，却找不到人陪他开局，干脆自己做了个版本hhh

商店那个菜谱三倍概率刷新感觉还是纯随机，建筑等级1-3级区分不明显。游戏前期没经济的时候，随机性太高，拿不到配套的食谱就纯坐牢。5个小时才过了第一关，局外成长开那个卡组根本没欲望去玩了。

A fun game with a small learning curve to get into, but a large one to really excel at. Don't worry, though, your first run is offered to be a tutorial run, in which it points out your basic buildings, card effects and game mechanics in the first five "years" or so of the run, then lets your off leash to go finish the run out however you like. not so much a handholding exercise as it is a gentle shove in the right direction. About the game - each dragon has an interesting mechanic that makes some runs intrinsically harder than others, and sometimes a run just refuses to get off the ground because RNG does not cooperate - and that's alright! With a quick reset timer, you can be back in the next game in a matter of seconds. Along that note, having a quick reset button on the game over screen would be a welcomed improvement! It's nice that the game also has an option for you to unlock everything whenever you'd like without needing to grind out progression - this allows you to get a feel for the different dragons and modes available from the jump to see whether or not this game fits you. Music is great, art is wonderfully stylized, and the dragons' snark is only mildly infuriating after the third missed dice roll in a row. Overall if you like roguelikes and deckbuilder type games, I'd say this is worth picking up. I can't wait to see what improvements they make moving forward.
