Can't stand party games where foregone conclusions are likely and encouraged. It's definitely a more refined Monopoly of sorts, this would be the iterative ideal from that game with a more interesting complex structure and significantly more charm and heart to it. Granted it still kind of caps off quick, and playing this solo is the worst thing you can do for it because it runs dry when there's not a single bit of chaotic energy from friends, because unfortunately this game isn't really chaotic at all! At least for me, I like to have my party games spend little time on turns, and make choices a constant turn of the gambit, but here it's moreso tension on what potentially MAY happen with a lot of safe results. And those turns take so longgg, even on full speed.

I definitely would have to get a four person party to have a more grander experience, but with two I felt most of the time I was kicking around a bucket hoping something would explode, with the game itself ending simply from One single high-cost building roll... 20+ turns later from that impact. It's fine, definitely fun enough if you can fill the interim with your pals, but too much of a waste for me when scrambling games through Parsec.
