I watched a video review and really like the mechanics. Right now i'd like to purchase an auction game and therefore looked up lots of other candidates and lots of them have higher ratings.
Why doesn't this game get better ratings?
What do people dislike about this game?

People maybe don't know what the Speicherstadt is, warehouses really aren't that exciting, and I think that makes people suspicious.

I've had great success (even with non-Germans) by simply puttin the game on the table and playing it. By the end, they like the game a lot!

The game is brilliant, elegant, and everybody should get it and play it. People should also visit Hamburg, too!

Low ratings? Maybe this game isn't as complex as the games that get a high rating here, but that is a bias of this web site.
