Quao. A social/party game based on Mao. It was made by the folks who made Quelf, which I like a lot, but it kind of fell on its face. It needed about 4 or 5 times as many cards (we ended up seeing all of them in just one game), it was too long, and some of the mechanics didn't really seem too well thought out. There was some clever stuff in there. The idea of one player getting secret rules he got to enforce was pretty fun, but again, there just weren't enough of them.
It did come with a free T-shirt though (got it from Tanga), so that was cool... On Dec 29, 11:50 am, Gatorzzz <[email protected]> wrote: > I regret buying almost every card game I buy.
