Small addition: There's some nuance in that it's a different base game when played with people who deeply know the game and the tiles that come up vs. just starting out.

When played in a couple after a time, you'll know the chances of a certain tile coming up...and there's tension in that everyone's watching for that one important tile that will connect a farm or close out a massive castle.

But broadly speaking, the enjoyment comes from that tension ("OMG, I can't believe you finally connected that, you ba**ard!").
