Why rate this game if you just want to play GtR and just compare it with that, without examine all the positive aspects that uchronia has?
every game must have rates for what it is on its own , if we all start to rate comparing every game with similar ones then most of the games will have low rates and thats not fair.
i have GtR but i havent play it yet because i found it hard to put it on table with my wife with all those bad graphics and colors, i know its good game though.
As soon as i got uchronia it was very good looking game and had some more streamlined rules and seems less chaotic and easier to play, those differences dont make it bad game but a different one so as a card game i found that uchronia is a very good one and easy for casual games to play so i imagine that new gamers or gamers that dont have GtR will give better rates to uchronia and players with GtR will give low rates because uchronia isnt so good and deep as GtR , i think that rating with comparison in mind is not fair to any game.

It's impossible to rate games in a vacuum. There's no frame of reference. So you are always going to be rating a game relative to other games, or even other activities (e.g., "I'd rather get a root canal than play this again").
For Uchronia, there is a well-known and highly rated alternative that is very similar. Of course people with knowledge of both games are going to compare them. For my purposes, the ratings of people who are knowledgeable about games are far more useful than the ratings of people who are ignorant about games, so it's hard for me to understand your preference in this case.
