Art was simple but fit the idea well. Get's chaotic rather quickly, and after a while it seemed like green caravans just all but vanished, and even blues became so rare I couldnt attract one without pulling in several orange ones, but that game had gone for a while so that might have been why. Only thing really missing is an end point objective, but otherwise, it's a good loop and pleasant experience.
