Good review. But, it seems like a game that you spent $30 for, but played "tons of times" would be a good investment.
I understand the Budget Gamer view, but a $30 game that gets 50 plays would be a better value than a $15 game that gets played 4 times.

This is how I budget my purchases pretty much.
Anticipated plays/enjoyment / cost = likelihood of buying. So, one 60$ game that would keep me occupied for months is a better investment than 6 10$ games that keep me occupied for a few days for each.
I can also see though that though sometimes this formula runs into problems. Like Dominion + all the expansions may have a fantastic ratio for me (at least 100 enjoyable plays) but the high cost of all that is still restrictive (and the original would not have that kind of replayability I feel).
Anyway, appreciate the review! I have been eyeballing this game for some time and it is nice to hear price included in the reviewing process.
