Scarlett Y. ★★★★★

The sheer amount of plastic in the Maximus pledge is honestly a little overwhelming at first, but every building tile feels solid and the insert actually keeps it all organized. Plays great at 2 players too, which is rare for a city builder this size. Worth the wait for the 2026 delivery.

Jason I. ★★★★★

Finally cracked this open at four players and the downtime between turns is way shorter than I feared for a city-builder this size. The component quality on the exclusive buildings genuinely surprised me. Worth the wait for the preorder.

Samuel C. ★★★★★

The Maximus tier really delivers for a 2-4 player setup, and the pre-order window gave me plenty of time to clear the shelf space it deserves. The production quality on the buildings is stunning, but the real win is how smoothly the architecture phase flows once you get the rules down.
