Castle-Wrecking Mayhem!
We really, REALLY love this game. All of the gameplay options, from tower defense, to worker placement, to building your benefits through card purchases really make this game shine. Plus there is just something awesome about the toy factor of building your castle and then warding off hoards of invaders that is exceedingly tense and enjoyable. Every game we've played has been a close one, with wins usually coming by a coin or three. It also scales well for all of the recommended player counts. However, 3-4 player is definitely the most fun, at least for us. All in all, a great game. We've even backed the new Gamefound campaign to get the upgraded components. We are fully bought in to the crazy :)

Not your typical dry Euro
Definitely a euro but the castle defense portion is a very interesting addition that makes it stand out. The money being victory points has been done before but the threat level being tied to it as well also adds a whole new level to the decision space. Excellent game! The only down side is there are a lot of pieces and it can be a bit fiddly. As a rule, I generally do not like that in a game, but this game is an exception.

Not for me
LOVED the idea and look of After the Empire when I first saw it featured on The Dice Tower. When I played it, though, I found the worker placement portion of the game to be pretty bland and uninteresting and the siege portion of the game to be a little convoluted and fiddly. The board also takes up a TON of space, pretty unnecessarily. It probably could have easily been at least 25%-50% smaller.
