“It is a good enjoyable Gateway game, but it's not overly satisfying. It's just, you know, move things, collect tokens and trade them in. It's very much a contract fulfillment at its core with nothing really to mix that up.”(5:09)

“I’m glad Finca is back in print and easily accessible. For $30 this is a great lightweight euro that feels classic but also has enough of a wrinkle to make it stand out from other games.”
