This is great!
I've played Carson City 5 times, I've rated it a 10, and I am dismayed I haven't gotten a chance to play it more. I'm glad you're giving this a thorough scrutiny.
In our few plays, the one "aha" moment we discovered is the value of snatching up those mountain spots, as every parcel owned is 2 VPs at the end of the game, and they're just hanging out there to be snatched up.
It's also pretty nasty to buy mountains if someone plopped a mine next to them, essentially cutting into their profits.
Though this game is a "euro," it has a heck of a lot of interaction between players, and that's one of the many reasons why I like this game so much.

Hey Greg! I see your in Ohio, we live just north of detroit, we could set up a game day some time, we are about 180 miles appart, appox. 3hrs, it would not be that hard to arrange something, it could be there or here or even somewhere in between.
I assume you have a regular game group? if not you would be welcome to join us for a day
That is a fantastic offer! There's one hitch--my wife and I are in the process of adoption, and I may become a father for the first time in approx. 2-3 weeks.
Commence mild panic and life changing events!
I'm not sure how travel-friendly I will be in the near future, but it's a fantastic offer and one I'll keep in mind. The group I game with regularly suffers a bit from the Cult-of-the-new-itis, so 50+ plays is a hard sell. I'd be willing though to try to make it to 15 or 20 if I ratchet up my skills of persuasion.
