Maybe it's a matter of taste, but the negative criticisms of it don't apply to my experience. I recommend you try the game.

But with some variants: 1) The start player receives fewer initial houses and fewer gold. I play that players receive 9 houses and place 4 initially. They receive 15 gold each. Start player receives 8 houses and gets to place 3 initially. He only receives 14 gold. This makes a difference. 2) The centre palace is worth 2 points, not 3. 3) Character #7 provides one free house to your stash from the quarry. My group loves this game, as do I. It’s worth trying.
