Yes, very good price for a relatively new release... if I didn't already own the original (Capitol) I'd jump on this for sure.... but doesn't look like good for buying for trade bait, demand just doesn't look like it's there :(
I loved Capitol and am glad to see it back, and I know that a good game is enjoyed for the mechanics more so than the theme...
BUT
A moonbase!? Why do I need to build wooden buildings with round or pointed roofs and have green-space...on the moon. Probably will end up getting this, but man it's so much uglier looking than Capitol.
I played this at BGG.con last fall. (Have never played Capitol.)
I think this is actually pretty nice-looking. Unfortunately as a game it fell almost totally flat. We agreed that the mechanics simply don't work for two-player. For three- or four-player it would probably work better.
[8], [9] I have to admit that the thing that sold me on this game was how it looked in pictures on BGG. It is so awesomly silly looking! I can, however, see how someone accustomed to the elegance of Capitol might shudder at the almost childish color scheme of this game.

Super good price. Cheapest on the net right now is Boulder Games at $32.80 without shipping.

[4] Think moon of endor, not moon of earth. Then you need the green space for the little muppets running around.
I just picked up three copies of this for myself and two friends.
Long Live Z-MAN!!!
In for 3! Congratulations Tanga for the very good game offers you have been posting lately. Bad for my pocket, but I love it :D
As much as I love Capitol, this version is just hideous. And the sci-fi theme makes it even more unwanted.
Original Capitol was great looking and indulging, this is just awful. How could they have ruined it like that.... :(
Yeah, unfortunately this may be the ugliest game in existence.
I'm in! Awesome price.

Is Tanga only doing one game every other day now? :-\
Has anyone received their copy of this game, still waiting?
Mine showed up yesterday.
