As for "Aquaduct" I am not sure there is a game named that. Did you mean, "Aqua Romana?" If so, then I haven't played that game. I enjoyed Chinatown and I think Santiago is different from it. In Chinatown there is negotiation but it can continue for some time. In Santiago, you are "bribing" the Canal Overseer and you can only do that once. Possibly, you may be able to coerce other players into bribing the way you want. However, in terms of "feel", I think Santiago is a lot meaner than Chinatown. Would I recommend Santiago? Yes, but with the understanding that the bribing of the Canal Overseer can be a bit much for some players. Happy gaming! I have played Chinatown.

Will this feel like a nice progression or redundant? I own Chinatown and Aquaduct, we enjoy both. Will this feel like a nice progression or redundant?
