This is a very polished game. The end of turn tallying gets really satisfying as your village gets larger. I'm not particularly good at this style of game, so I'm assuming that's why my tallying had so many sour notes :P
I didn't see the countdown on my first couple attempts, and was surprised when I lost "out of nowhere". And then it took me couple more rounds to spot the objectives. From that point on it was just my own poor strategizing holding me back. I think I missed that some of the locations were consuming resources each turn until it was too late.
A strange world for sure.
