This is a game that was introduced to me when I used to go weekly to the Beantown Gamers at MIT.
In some ways, it resembles my hated Settlers of Catan -- but without those elements that make me hate Catan so much. (Namely, no Robber and no pointless trading.) What it retains is the idea of rolling two dice, benefiting from the dice roll based on what you own, and the buying of properties, as opposed to building them. There is a little strategy to the game, but very little. An innocuous game, that I'm more than willing to play in the downtime between more desirable games. But not one that I'll keep to own or play otherwise.
