Not Asimov. That's Arthur C Clarke.

Looks great. Reminds me of the creatures in Dark Crystal.

I’ve played some market row games where a good card came out and no way of mitigating for other players like having a cost associated with freshly drawn cards, etc.

Here I may be being too picky. But it still stuck out at me.

There is some compensation for the 2nd player though in other areas.

No, it's a normal market row, but in the 2 player game I played, the second player's recharge always refreshed the market row for the other player.

I'm not a big fan of market row in general, too much luck of the draw.

Don't get me wrong, I think the core mechanism for actions is great. I wished we had played with the expansion (fixes a worker issue we had).

I can see why people like it.

UI choices gave us issues & I wish the card play was a bit quicker a la Spice Road or had a bit more power without workers.
