Great review, Viktor, and one that does exactly what I need from a review.
I don't think I'll be buying Roads & Boats. It's too long and the punishing of early mistakes is a pain in the arse. While in theory I like that you pay for mistakes, it's no fun, particularly when learning a game, to trip up in the first 20 minutes and then have 3+ hours to regret and hope the rest of the players screw up at least as badly.
