Rio Grande Games Alan's Adventureland Game

Why this game gets no love I don't quite understand. There are multiple avenues to win and it's very puzzley. Strategy shifts throughout the game and you have to decide whether or not to keep an opponent from "expanding" his park or work on your own. Many compare it to Quadropolis, but I think I like this more. You're less prone to get some stuck in analysis paralysis. It moves quickly and becomes very challenging towards the end as your hand of cards becomes more depleted. And somehow the designer managed to keep things balanced. Warning: If you can't do math, you better have a calculator handy because there's a lot of scoring. Give it a try!
