Most variance is input randomness (7/10): luck arrives before your decision and you plan around it. Be warned: catch-up is weak (3/10) — early stumbles can be hard to recover from.
The theme provides flavor (4/10) but the experience is mostly mechanical. The engine-building arc is strong (engine 9/10) — early-game investments pay off in explosive late-game turns.
