Any game that you can milk 10 plays out of, is okay by me. That works out to about $3-4 per game session. Not bad for your entertainment dollar.
I was probably over hyped on Thebes just because I was taught the game by Mr. Rio Grande Games, Jay Tummelson. I've only played it one other time since then. My wife, daughter, and son-in-law all seemed to enjoy it. It does seem like a good game to play with the family, although they have to be ready to play for 90 minutues or more. The thing that keeps Thebes from becoming a "gamer's game" is the random draw of treasures from the bag. But the components are really cool and I think the theme really shines through. I won't trade Thebes and I hope to play it more in the future. On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 9:12 AM, Jeff Bowers <[email protected]>wrote: > > Good for 10 plays or so.
