I know it's considered "light," but I love this game. I think the critical feature is the ability to win two ways. The game is never out of reach, victory is never secure, and both victory conditions make for an exciting finish. If you have a big VP lead, it's a nail biter to see if you can survive.And the cards make all sorts of things possible. A player realizes a tailor-made strategy (on the fly) for a card and goes for it. How will the other players react?
I think it's underrated as a really great, great game.
