I agree, great review. I got this game for Christmas last year and began playing with an 8 year old nephew (as 2 player game). After a couple of games he went to bed and I played a few more two player games (with my adult brother).

The next day I played with three others (one my young nephew). He felt competitive throughout and wasn't out of it at any point.

The game works well for any number as the reviewer stated. With "Inns and Cathedrals" you can play with up to six, and it remains fun and involving. The feel is different-- with fewer players, it feels quite controlled (since you play such a large fraction of the pieces), while larger games reward maximizing your (fewer) plays by getting involved in other people's projects more often.
