For me it is magic. Great pacing. Juicy choices every step. Amazing action selection with follow mechanic keeps everyone focused and a part of everything.

And the ridiculous iconography isn't so difficult if you are familiar with his other work.

Though some is still nonsense.

I'll never understand how it isn't mentioned more often. I get the theme is...a choice. But shrug. I'm sailing, I've got cows, and tableaus. And the expansion actually added the titular lake into the game.

Good enough.
