Fiasco just received a great new review on critical-hits.com. In addition to a detailed breakdown of the game mechanics and the value a given group would get from the game, he talks a bit about how the game looks:

Thanks for the kind words, Linnaeus!
For the June Playset of the Month, we bring you Reconstruction, by Tom Gurganus.
It is 1867. The American Civil War is over and the South is in ashes. She must be restored to the Union, and the process by which she will be rebuilt and embraced by the victors – well, it is not a smooth one.
