I love the game. It is a steep learning curve, and you likely won't score very well your first time thru, because there's lots to learn\remember... but they do all make thematic sense and are easy to remember for your future plays... all are obvious objectives to be successful in your farm life (like collecting wood, to build a fence, to keep your animals.)Only thing I can think not to like about the game... is the cards... so many unique cards to read and learn. In the 10+ games I've played, we've still only used the "Basic" (E) deck. And when you play with gamers like my brother, they'll take for ever to read every detail of every card, and really can slow down the game.
Overall, the theme fits the game mechanics just perfectly. Yeah it may not be the theme for you, but some people don't like war games, or sci-fi games, or fantasy games... and some times the theme may not even matter, and it really comes down enjoyable game mechanics. But... don't let that (or others) stop you from giving your opinion... even if we don't agree with it.
