Game sounds like FUN, and that's what they should be. Personally, I like a bit of randomness is a game. I think all the board gaming purists should play Go or Chess if the don't like arbitrary results in a game. games that are 100% logical get reduced so a computer wins them. With a certain amount of big effect randomness, I think the discovery and surprise fun elements of the game are as important as the mastery and strategic planning fun elements.</p> <p>Sounds like I should go find a copy of it.</p> Thanks for the review.
