Easy as it is to play, strategy fans will find enough depth to consider Lanterns a midweight game. Point values for particular sets of cards diminish as the game progresses. For example, the first time a player trades in 4-of-a-kind, they will receive more points than the third player to do it. The market for each type of card is limited. Cards in possession are not hidden from other players. A particular orientation of a tile you place might give you a color you want, but also give another player a card that enables them to complete a set.
The art design is pleasant, meant to represent a top-down view onto a lake during an evening fireworks display (the starting tile shows a person in a rowboat). The wooden favor tokens are stamped in red with kanji that I can't read, but probably matches some hipster's inner-arm tattoo. The non-textured cards are average quality, and they are frequently handled. Consider sleeving them if you will play often. Handle the cardboard tiles carefully to avoid tearing the graphics on the back, since unlike the cards, the tiles in your hand are hidden.
Another game that I really enjoy which I find similar to Lanterns is Splendor. Both have a small footprint, a limited market that replenishes, shorter length of play, scales well from 2-4 players, very few rules to grok, but with an economy of decisions that subtly affect the final outcome. Personally, I consider these to be two of the best abstract games of recent years, and you can play both in the same amount of time as one game of Settlers of Catan or Ticket To Ride.
Game play is pretty fast, took about 45 minutes to play once we read the instructions and figured it out. There is a bit of strategy, but you are only looking at your cards and tiles, by the time it gets back around to you, the board will be different, and you will have a lot of cards you might, or might not need. It is a game that you need to watch, if you go to put on dinner when it is your turn it is not rolling a dice and moving, you may have to trade a card, turn in a set, and then have to place 1 of 3 tiles in a way that will help you and not help the other players.
This game was easy enough for an almost 9 year old to figure out, but still a lot of fun for the 46 year old parents and will certainly be one of the games we pull out when we have an extra 45 minutes and want to play a game.
As quick as this is to learn and play, there is plenty of depth to be had. Not only are you trying to help yourself, but it's also in your interest to keep others from completing their goals. It's not a "take that" game in any way, but rather a thoughtful abstract game that scales its depth to match the players' skill levels.
This game plays fantastically and looks amazing on the table. I recommend Lanterns for families and more serious game groups alike. Great stuff, this!

This is a game with simple game mechanics, but offers enough in terms of every game is random (due to the distribution of the tiles). It plays in less than 30 mins with four players and there are some tactics that can be played (not that I've worked many out yet). It's very easy to teach and it is a game that is getting a lot of play time in our house as we are playing more 30-45 minutes games than hours!
