I picked it up for really cheap, somewhere in that $10 to $15 range, and I think it's totally worth it. I'm a big Kramer/Kiesling fan, so I'm always willing to give anything they do a try.
I enjoy action point allowance systems, a common mechanic in their games, and this one is rather streamlined. You have a few cards in your hand, you pick one to play, and then do two to four of the actions listed depending on the card. The board is broken up into 4 sections, each with it's own building requirements and area majority scoring.
Is it their best design? No. Is it worth playing for that price? Absolutely.
