I had my most fun and stress watching things go wrong... getting too ambitious and expanding faster than food, not streamlining a resources collection and seeing the devastation that results when you suddenly lack the 1 item. There are hours and hours of fun to be had on this game. Beautiful music, and it looks great. You really do just get sucked up in the 'making it work' endeavor/challenge of building your community up from a few people and a cart. For the obvious city builder considerations, this game is brilliant, but once you actually have things up and running, it does start to lose it's appeal a lot faster than most other builders... why... because it was built that way. There are little to no real objective to begin with, save survive. Once you have that well in hand, that's really all there is ..... game over, except it doesn't end. I ended up simply waiting round for a fire or tornado to come shake things up... I had fun waiting and watching my great streamlined civ function I do however really really wish there was a little more objective play.. something to keep it fresh and interesting even on your fifth new settlement/play-through.
