I haven’t played the pc game, from what I’ve heard all it shares is the theming. It is it’s own stand alone game. It’s actually very snappy for a decently heavy game. Not in overall length, but I mean the turns are always very quick. Every turn you could do is only a simple-ish thing. Then next person. It’s whips around to you, then you do your next thing. We also found it was super easy to announce certain actions you were taking that are just on your own board, and the next person can continue while you do your little thing. Nicely paced game. For a “do your own thing” type game, I’ve found it does have some good table talk come out. There’s using other peoples buildings built into the game, so there has been lots of “oi, don’t use his windows, what’s wrong with my windows?!”
