The yellow tiles can be very powerful when the right ones are acquired early. This makes me a little itchy about game balance as player order will determine who has the first chance to grab them.
In a two player game, not all of the yellow tiles will come out, so that definitely impacts the flow of the game. I find it safe and still fun to go for a strategy (shipping, brown buildings, etc) and then see where the yellow can boost your points, rather than building the strategy around the yellow tiles...if that makes sense?
Great review of a great game. My wife and I played this with a variant that the unused yellow tiles are placed face up on the table for the two players to see. That lets you plan for those that will come up, if you can snatch them. Works well.
