Most variance is input randomness (7/10): luck arrives before your decision and you plan around it. Catch-up is moderate (4/10).
The theme provides flavor (4/10) but the experience is mostly mechanical. The engine-building arc is strong (engine 8/10) — early-game investments pay off in explosive late-game turns.
