Glasstrasse 2.0
+ Resource management (wheels)
+ As typical for Rosenberg games, there are many tactical/strategic possibilities due to the numerous tiles
+ The traveling merchant allows additional tactical options
+/- Works well with two players, but can become very "unbalanced" depending on how the game unfolds: There are some significantly stronger tiles, and whoever gets the majority of them has a clear advantage. The traveling merchant can also be played "aggressively" by constantly "following" him, thus gaining resources of your choice on every turn (AND placing the neutral game piece in the best positions). In our opinion, the sweet spot for this game is definitely with 3 or more players.
- The game components are generally good, but (in all the copies we've seen) have some flaws: Some of the wooden resources have traces of mold on them, suggesting that production or storage wasn't ideal. Furthermore, the player boards with the wheels are badly warped (and unnecessarily so; a double-layer design wasn't essential). Although a replacement is sent without any problems when reporting a problem to the publisher (great!), it's still not good publicity for quality control.
