We have a LOT of games (150+) and tend to play everything from 2-player 10minute games to 3-4hr heavy battle strategy games (though not as often on these long ones). In other words we play a lot of games and have maybe a different set of standards than non-gamers or casual gamers.TIME COMMITMENT:+ Box says 30min and every time we played (except our 1st learning session) ranged 20-30minutes for sure.Thus it's nice that we can play multiple sessions in one sitting.EASE OF LEARNING:+ Game box says 7+ and they are right, that this game is easy to learn at many ages.> I would say that there is enough math and strategy for adults though that some elements may be lost on the younger crowdTHEME:> I'm torn on this one. The theme of building your home is pretty good. But the point rules encourage you to build certain rooms more than others. For instance, 2 points for a Play room, but points encourage you to make sure you have a bathroom, kitchen and bedroom (less fun!) in your home.+ Theme is enhanced by getting bonuses for a matching roof, decor, and functionality.LUCK:+ Luck is low. The cards to pick from are out on the table for all to see. Depending on who is 1st player and going clock-wise is as random/luck as it's going to get.STRATEGY:+ Strategy is low-mid. There is enough planning on your selection that your strategy of "taking a chance" with one plan may get blow away with the changing of cards or other players are taking the cards or it could play out even better than you thought. Also, tracking the math of your scoring in your head throughout, really helps make better decisions.REPLAYABILITY:> Every game of turns is a different assortment of cards. Now there is a limited number of cards. I actually like games that give you 2-3 times more cards than you need for a game, so that there is more chance of getting something new the next game. Unfortunately here it could get boring after a while with only enough cards to fill the house for all four players.+ Need an expansion please!A garage board. A backyard and a front yard or other landscaping decor. More room cards! A loft, a sunroom, a room addition, etc. Plus more decor like a pool table or dart board for the game room. Toys for the play room. There are many, many ways to expand this game...especially the need for up to 6-players, please!!OVERALL:Not everything above is a plus, so I feel this had to lose a half-star, but the game is liked.Specific feedback from my family. . .+ Wife = Wow! That was easy to learn and fun to play.+ Teenage son = That was much better than I expected. It was fun!+ Pre-teen daughter = I really like the game. Especially since I'm the youngest and I can beat everyone royally.+ Dad (me) = Normally I like high strategy, combat games. But this is one of the better, quick victory point games that we can teach to friends/family who aren't big gamers.This game is a winner for us.
