Good review. I think the balance between tactical turn to turn play and strategic engine building can be big in these short engine games---striking any balance at all. Which is why I tend to play longer engine games, I guess... Wingspan is taking the opposite tack, making the construction and operation of your engine the whole game through random tableau supply which also doesn't totally work for me. But there again, longer game.

You bring up an important point. How DO you properly spell RNGesus? RNGeezus?
