I thought that it was quite good (one play, basic game only). But a friend, whose opinions frequently match mine and whose judgment is otherwise perfectly sound (he was one of the few English gamers who got to play Agricola in German at Essen when it first came out, and his enthusiasm for the game during that October to December did much to help many of us play the game long before an English edition was thought possible) played Palaces not once but three times during Essen this year. Now I don't know at what point he moved to the "full" game, but it speaks volumes that he was prepared to spend Essen time playing the same game over and over.↧
