I don't think it's such a huge deal. Yes, the board is the same, but player-created chaos should make every game different enough. I've now played nine games of Die Dolmengötter — there too the board is static and players have the same pieces. There aren't even any secret objective cards... yet I find it immensely replayable and haven't found it at all boring or repetitious. My current feeling is that Metropolys is quick enough to shine, that's the key. I think it might be possible to play the game in 30 minutes, which would be pretty sweet.

I don't think the secret objective cards would vary things enough for me. Do you agree or do you think the replayability is really high?
