This is a good implementation of Kingsburg, and I have yet to encounter any of the complaints mentioned in earlier reviews.
The game is in need of one or more expansions from the "To Forge A Realm" expansion set, however. First and foremost, the soldier tokens make the game much more predictable for those who prefer to rely less on the outcome of the white die in winter. The governor cards would be a close second, as they add an element of personalization to the different players.
The expanded track rows and alternate tracks would be welcome additions, and I can take or leave the yearly events, some of which are too cruel.
I would also like to see an iPad implementation for the game, and for the end of year soldier review right before monsters arrive to adjust for the farms, and if youve peeked at the monsters, to calculate any specific bonuses against them.
