Vitenka... just can't get excited about it. It sounded like the perfect game. "Powergrid, but shorter and without the maths." But it lied. It's not much shorter, it's a lot more fiddly and the analysis is just as bad. (You have around 20 things to choose from, costing between 1 and 31, in six broad categories each of them balancing 4 different stats. You have 186 to spend, split a maximum of 6 ways; though certain choices use up two of your picks, or might cost an additional 10... fuhgeddaboudit. No way that can go fast.) It also has a terrible death spiral.
But really, none of that is insurmountable. It's a game. I'll play it. But probably not for a few years, there's plenty of better games out there.
