Hey Paul- Thanks for talking about one of my favorite games. I had one quibble, though. It is cooperative between the characters in that if you and another player end your turn in the same area, you can trade money, clues, etc. This helps out if someone is rich in clues but not prepared to go through a gate, but some tough person can't seal a gate if he goes through for lack of clues. And yes, the color issues have greatly pissed us off. __________________ Mur Lafferty ~ Geek Fu Action Grip http://www.geekfuactiongrip.com I Should Be Writing http://www.ishouldbewriting.com Great Rejection Challenge of 2006: 4

Mur, Good point; I'd forgotten about the the trading issue. We did a reasonable amount of it in the first game I'd played, but we hadn't in subsequent games, so it had slipped my mind. --Paul __________________ Paul Tevis Have Games, Will Travel @ http://www.havegameswilltravel.net The Voice of the Revolution @ http://www.thevoiceoftherevolution.com

In our last game, we decided that cooperation was one of the things missing from our game, so we decided that the next time we played, we were really going to try to work together with the sharing of resources, etc. __________________ Mur Lafferty ~ Geek Fu Action Grip http://www.geekfuactiongrip.com I Should Be Writing http://www.ishouldbewriting.com Great Rejection Challenge of 2006: 4
