The Chapel is good... but it is a long way from being broken. You need to be really good at the game to not lose when playing it against another skilled player. It generally only works when they're playing pretty slowly, or you've built up an incredible production strategy. Card Advantage is so important in this game, and losing cards isn't good.

Incidentally, I've played 99 games of San Juan on www.brettspielwelt.de; plus a few more with my friends, so I've played the game over one-hundred times. It is still one of my favourite games.

Cheers!
