This game is so good for the price that I dumped another $150 into it to upgrade all the components. Now I'd say it's worth the price I paid.

Great game. Even for beginners but still has a lot of depth to it. Fun and entertaining.

This game is insanely fun. I will say that it is better for 3-5 people than for two because the math works differently. For example, on a building wherein you get a bonus as the owner, if the tile gives the opponent two clerics and the owner one, it essentially gives the owner and the individual using the building a free cleric. In a multiple person game, that gives the building owner an advantage. For example, if the building is used 4 times and the opponents evenly use the building, in a 3 player game, the two opponents will get what is essentially two free turns total each and the owner of the building gets the advantage, as he/she gets 4 free turns (because of the extra clerics). In a two player game, the opponent and the owner both get 4 free turns worth of clerics.
Similarly, the economics of intrigue cards changes in a two player. In a normal game, a card that forces all opponents to discard a cleric at their tavern will give the original player an advantage. They used one turn to set every other player back a turn (as clerics take one turn to grab). But in a two player game, using that card sets one player back one turn for the cost of using a turn. Sure, you get the extra action afterwards, but with the disincentive to building buildings mentioned above in 2 player, that extra turn really is not worth much. Essentially, you learn quickly that about half of the game's math does not work well for 2 player. Still fun in 2 player if you recognize this handicap and work to play around it, but less fun on a frequent basis.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME!!!
My boyfriend and his friends are really into board games, and I've now played a ton as well, so feel more adept to comment here. This is honestly my favorite game. It takes about 90-120 minutes to play, and even if someone is doing really poorly, there is still the chance they can come back and win. I love that there is strategy, creativity, you can work with or against people, and while you're all working for points, you all have your own specific goals. I can't say enough amazing things about it. We first played it when I hadn't played a lot of board games and I loved it, and we now own it along with 100 other board games and I still love it!
My only suggestion is to get the expansion pack. It is worth every penny because of the extra things that it offers, and it can completely change many aspects of how you play!

Great game! I bought it as a gift for someone, and am now thinking about buying a copy myself.
