this review called it "against the storm but turn based" and uhh yeah. it's that. it's just, you know, i kind of felt i understood against the storm after playing a few rounds, and i understood this after playing even fewer rounds.

i like terraforming mars. it's neat (if, you know, morally a bit questionable - a topic the game seems happy to dodge in favor of 'ignore bad morale in favor of rushing towards terraforming asap'). the game makes it look neat.

i accomplished my goal and now i'm done. which is, like, fine. i'm just kind of left with thinking about liz's amazing essay on (among other things) One Neat Mechanic vs Anarchic Maximalism and im kind of feeling a little more anarchic maximalist than One Neat Trick these days. so it goes!
