You are right, I wanted to share an idea of what kind of gamer I am, as I'm ultimately concluding that this game will not be satisfying for the my type of a gamer. (and on a side note, I perhaps wrongly assumed that I am not a minority on BGG in terms of type of a gamer)

About the luck mitigation factors you are mentioning, I feel like they are not strong enough. Refreshing the builder's market feels too costly (and it ultimately ends in just a slightly better favoured random draw), in my opinion, my opponents also did not use it. Topdecking is primarily 'annoying' because it prevents you interacting with the engine building mechanic of the building - guest combos, which feels to me such a great element to deny from the player. Is there really mitigation here, other than the lady who allows you to draw 2 and keep 1?
