With nearly infinitesimal different ways to set up the game, it is a guarantee that the same two games will never be played twice.

Ummm, I don't think infinitesimal means what this guy thinks it means.

Don't we have editors who are supposed to catch this kind of stuff?

Yes. You.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. :P
As far as the game goes, I've played with 42, Jax Ryan, and the late, great cyan10101. I whole-heartedly agree with the review.

This game is a great way to kill an afternoon (or really late evening). Though it is a little complicated at first.

It's also usually hard to see who is going to win until the last few turns of play, which is great.

The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.
