I've played this a handful of times, always as a two-player game. It strikes me as a very "zen garden" kind of game -- it's very non-competitive, and is easy to play as a "cooperate to build an aesthetically pleasing landscape" kind of game. The competitive aspects are very passive-aggressive (e.g. making it difficult for another player to complete a city), which (in my experience) tends to enhance its relaxing nature.

I highly recommend this game.
