Yeah, I probably should have posted that press release when I got it a few weeks ago, but I was lazy that day. They promised to send me a copy of the game, though, so rest assured that it will be well-played and reviewed.

It's not free. I have to play the game several times and then write a review about it.

I wish they would actually give some hints about the release.  Sure, they'll have new pieces, but who cares -- I want to know the rules.

Interesting.  I think the new pieces are a cool idea.  The rules I'm guessing will make it more like a Wizards game, which means it will somehow let you buy expansions and such.

I think I remember playing this once. It was about three years ago, and it was way, way too complicated for my 12 year old brain.

You STILL have a twelve year old brain, at best.  I played axis and allies once when I was, like, ten, me thinks.  I don't remember much except it was really great.  As for your poor reviewing life, Fellfrosch, I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.  Why don't you go cry whilst playing FREE GAMES!?!

What about the monkey, which ironically, your monkey seems to be demonstrating.
