As far as appeal, it just seems like a fit for me. I'm a big Puerto Rico fan. The game my friends and I play most and seem to enjoy the most is Le Havre. My take on Macao is that it will be significantly lighter than Le Havre, and still bring some interesting mechanics into play. I'm also a big fan of Homesteaders, probably moreso than the rest of my regular gaming friends. Games with economic engines ring our bell so to speak.

I don't have a spare, I played it and took it off my wishlist. Its not to say that you won't like it, but there was a tight mechanic with the cards and dice, but parts of the board felt tacked on.

If you are looking for an economic game, I would look at Genoa, for trading, or 1830 if you want a stock game. 1830 is a bit long, but it is completely worth it.
