The site looks much more crude than Yucata, but is playable. What's interesting, according to Yucata's Boss, Ravensburger's games are not allowed for them. But they gave permission to this site. Too bad, because Yucata's got a large community of hardcore gamers, who would teach us all how to build castles like a boss ;)
That sounds like Ravensburger did an exclusive deal with Boiteajeux, which leaves Yucata out in the cold on these.
I don't mind having multiple sites. All the better if one of the crashes or runs into financial difficulties.
I do prefer the game management on boiteajeux. You can choose to skip responding to a particular game. So for example, I'm able to respond to my Trajan games and hold the CoB game until I have a moment to reread the rules. Being forced on Yucata to always play the oldest game regardless is a real pain in the butt. Especially when I got stuck in a game of Pergamon which requires draggging items on screen (which I didn't know at the outset) and thus I couldn't make moves on my iPad (very much a pain, and something that meant I couldn't play any games while traveling until I touched base with a computer).
