    Played this for the first time last weekend and really enjoyed it. The whole playing in two halves is interesting, and as Tom says, you work hard getting it all ready on the first half and then have to immediately build on the fly in the second half when you opponent shows a blatant disregard for your precious planning applications.

    In typical SU&SD style, this video was both entertaining and informative. It's like you've always been a part of SU&SD, Tom! The way you deliver some of your lines like at 12:10-12:18 sounds exactly like something Matt would say. Great job, I am loving Chess Month! My only complaint is that you've gotten me very interested in the game and it's not the easiest to come by!

    Personally, I don't really see the similarity to Carcasonne (maybe the Safari one), as it seems more like Cathedral or a combined-quilt Patchwork, however good review. I don't think you mentioned the victory and end game conditions? I'd also recommend you clarify in the title that this is Paris Cite de la Lumiere (2019) rather than the Paris (2020) game by Kiesling and Kramer.
