Josh
- Board could be darker visually so that the pieces stand out
- Most fun: moving lots of customers
- Dissatisfying when there were few customers
John
- Good balance between complexity and time to play
- The stores could have stickers on both sides so that it is easier to sort them at the beginning of the game.
Suggestions/Actions
For next playtest:
- Drawing 2 customers after 3 dept stores are build is good.
- Limiting action for first n/2 players is not necessary.
