I don’t think they’re entirely true, though I would never, ever play this game with someone with AP. I would murder them. Posted by Thomas Taylor on Nov 20, 2008 at 10:11 PM | #

Thomas, I was one of 4 VERY experienced players on this one. We did the first 2 rounds and called it. I just find the entirety of the game uninspiring, uninteresting, overly chaotic, and much longer than advertised. Posted by Dave Kudzma on Nov 21, 2008 at 10:48 AM | #

Dave, this is all very good to hear considering I was going to pay a pretty penny to have it in the states sooner than released here. This game is in tune in terms of theme with me, but chaotic and random are never words I want to hear about a game I am purchasing. I am more attracted to games with deeply strategic, little/no luck, and good player planning and forethought to reap success as its laurels. Posted by tom moughan on Nov 21, 2008 at 11:56 AM | #
