Quite a few people call it Goa lite (or as I put it, Goa for people that hate Goa). It's kind of a tech driven economic engine. You are trying to increase your purchasing power, but at the same time, you are trying to complete a victory point machine (in this case a victorian sanitorium garden). Your tech tree allows you to increase your spending power, improve the value of "wild card improvements" or increase your revenue from production. There are a lot of fantastic mechanics in this game including how the start player is selected, making choices more or less valuable, preventing runaway leaders. They are all done so well. The real clincher here is that the game is fantastically lavish. You get high quality plastic gemstones (that look like gems, not plastic poop), very high quality plastic coins, a double layer board with insets to hold tokens, fantastically detailed tokens for the players and quality cardboard components for building your sanitorium. The game is a beast to setup and put away, but the game play is very compelling and tense. I think the game is absolutely fantastic.
