This game is quick to set up, easy to learn, fun, and fast to play.The premise of the game is very simple: Each player has cards face up in front of them with numbers on them. On their turn, each player rolls 1 or 2 dice. Any cards with the number rolled get activated, resulting in players receiving, losing, or stealing money. Then the player gets the opportunity to buy a card from the set of cards available to purchase, or one of four special cards required to win the game. The first player to buy all four special cards wins.If you play with the “variation” (I think it’s how the game is meant to be played and the default is an easy mode for your first session) where you shuffle the cards and only deal out a limited number of cards for the shop, and you put away the cards with the different card types separated (there’s only 3 types and they stay almost entirely separated during gameplay, so it’s not hard to do), the game takes less than a minute to set up and to clean up.

This is our new favorite game! The games aren’t quick, but they don’t feel like they drag too long. It’s a fun blend of strategy with luck. We have a couple variations of this game but this edition is our favorite.

My family was a bit hesitant to try this game at first, but they picked it up quickly once we started playing. While it looks a bit intimidating with all the cards laid out, it’s much less complicated than it seems. The gameplay flows smoothly, and it reminded me a bit of Dominion or even Settlers of Catan in some ways, which I really enjoyed.That said, I appear to be missing a single card. I can’t confirm if it was like that out of the box, but it hasn’t left the room where I unwrapped it, and we’ve only played once. I’d recommend counting the cards as soon as you open it to ensure the set is complete.

It's hard to find good games for just two people and this one fits the bill. It's easy but complex enough to be challenging. I love it.

Original review:At the time of the initial review, we've only played the "Harbor" expansion. The expansion adds a lot to the game - we like the game play better with the new rules, and really enjoyed it. I'd give it five stars. However, so far, we've found the following issues:1)Two of the additional Landmark cards are misprinted. For the first card, the inactive side shows airport, the activated side shows amusement park. The second card is opposite: the inactive side shows amusement park, the activated side shows airport.2) There's a new card that gives you a reward for every "flower orchard" card you have. There are no "flower orchard" cards. There are other "flower" type cards, so this is a misprint/typo.We haven't tested the other expansion out yet to see if it also has issues/misprints. Once we do, we'll see about contacting them for replacements.Updated review: Upgraded from 3 stars to 5. There were no additional misprints in the Millionaire's Row expansion. Playing the game with just Millionaire's Row is a lot of fun. Playing the game with both expansions is a lot of fun. This box is a lot of fun. You know what else is a lot of fun? The company quickly replaced the misprints with zero hassle. I contacted them on their website. They have a simple form to fill out. A few days later, we received the replacement cards.
