This is not true. The exclusion of the special buildings in the short game is a significant change that has a real impact on the experience beyond just changing the length of the game.
Actually, this is a good point. It does add extra randomness and the different abilities do change the game. When I wrote that, I was thinking more along the lines of strategies, etc. While the special buildings do add new abilities and mix the game up, I'm not sure if it really changes the game dramatically. And considering he's playing with new players who haven't played before, I don't know if the special buildings will make much difference to that first game exerience? Especially compared to game length itself or different player numbers.
