The hipsters have been playing it for 15 years. I has tons of replayability, but not that much. It's still a nice gateway game when I'm playing with newer gamers. Like Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne, not a difficult game, but one that's very easy to pick up and enjoy.
One issue with anything outside of the standard Settlers is that it takes quite a bit of time to set up.
