The addition of the purple die is a nice touch. It provides extra flexibility knowing that other players can never buy the die from me. The die is wild and a player determines the color upon use.
Not a big fan of this type of "fix" in a game.
Having this option alleviates the conflict in the game in taking other player's dice and locations in the buildings...
Stone Age expansion has the same "wild card" mechanism. Just don't like this idea in a competitive game. The idea IS to keep resources or actions away from your opponents. If given Free choices, it weakens this type of interaction...
Use your powers of persuasion to convince the other players not to choose your dice when they can pick other dice with better options...connive your way through the mire that is Troyes.
Good review, I just don't like the "unblockable" option.
