Great asymmetric war game, would highly recommend to Age of Empires/StarCraft fans dipping their toes into board gaming. Not as nasty as some people think ;)
I would also highly recommend the two faction expansions, Underworld (also includes two new maps) and Riverfolk for much more variety (one way of playing a four player game with the base set, 44 different ways with the expansions), as well as the Exiles and Partisans deck for more interesting card play. ̶N̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶.̶ Looks like they are in fact, at Guf!

Rare to see these available below RRP I think, $10 flat-rate shipping.
Note: This is a reasonably complex game, and probably shouldn't be your very next purchase after Catan and Ticket to Ride unless you're feeling particularly adventurous! The rules complexity is a bit higher than Terraforming Mars, and more comparable to something like Scythe or thereabouts I would say.

Have fun.
Fantastic game with asymmetric factions. Yes it's fairly complex, but my son and wife both managed to pick it up fairly quickly as they can focus just on the rules specific to their faction for the most part.
