When this game emerged, we played it to death. The first day I was exposed to it, we played it four times, and that's rare with my game group, as we choose to play many games, rather than one game many times.

As can be read in the other reviews, the mechanics are streamlined, as seems to be the case with every db Spiele game. And like their other games, there are never enough resources to do everything you'd like to do and you will find yourself selling your soul for just one more dollar.

I am familiar only with the original version of the game (Premiere), but Showmanager is a faithful re-issue, you cannot go wrong. Surely a must-have in your collection.
