Town Builder: Coevorden
Town Builder: Coevorden is an easy-going city-building game with a notably polished production and just enough interest to keep its lightness from feeling empty. It is not trying to astonish anyone, which turns out to be one of its nicer qualities.

Town Builder: Coevorden gave me much the same gentle pleasure as Villagers: rules that settle quickly, and a relaxed game with enough going on that you never feel you are merely filling the silence. The production is excellent, too; it gives the game a presence on the table that suits its modest aims.
There is no grand new idea here. But neither are there the little irritations that can make a light game feel like unpaid work after a Tuesday at the office. It plays equally comfortably with two, three, or four people, and that makes it rather more useful than it first appears.

This is a very good gap-filler: the game to bring out while the group is coming together, or when you want something gentler before a heavier euro. Not revolutionary; just quietly excellent at the job it has chosen.
