It is interesting - although I didn't really see enough there to make me want to buy it. It was interesting enough that I wouldn't mind playing it again however.
My first impressions are that there is some really large discrepancies in the power of the events on the cards. Some, really allowing for a single player to make a massive change to the round at their choosing. That George Washington card that just ENDS the round and was pretty much the equivalent of adding a card in Risk that would allow you to drop a nuke on Australia and wipe out the populace. The other thing I didn't like was they want the backs of your cards to be visible to the other players at all times but when you spend most of your time reading the events on the cards you just drew there isn't really a very easy or friendly way to allow me to do that. Optimally you would have them face down on the table so people can clearly see them but - well - unless you have xray vision you won't be able to read the events. Still - it was intriguing and deserves another go. Maybe with only 3 or 4 players instead of 5 however. On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 1:43 PM, Ran <[email protected]> wrote: > Heh.
