Played Cascadia for the first time yesterday. I enjoyed almost every aspect of the game individually, i.e. "this part's great!" and "so's this part!"

A fine tile-layer, though I found myself a bit troubled by the disconnect between its tactical gameplay and strategic scoring. This is probably me looking for depth in a gateway game. Bad Nick, bad.

I know I *should* be troubled more by the pasted-on theme and multi-player solitaire, but I don't mind either. Definitely will play again.
