Having played the base game and really enj...oyed it. However, in this new variation I was a little disappointed with the mechanics, and a couple of the "Cities" cards in particular, which were far too powerful, thus, somewhat taking the fun aspect out of the game. The original game had great mechanics with a couple of strategies to pursue victory, but "Cities" really has only the one that makes it a "first past the post" kind of game. For those fans of the original Splendor game, the variant is a little disappointing, and definitely not a "got to have it" kind of game.
