Hi Alan,
This sounds very interesting! I have read about this game on "the geek" (
www.boardgamegeek.com), and I was intrigued. I have read about people bursting into tears and not wanting to speak to each other because of this game! Is it that rough? I suppose it's how you play it.
I would have picked it up, but unfortunately we cannot get it here. I am trying to get some games in that are on my wishlist, but the retailers can't promise me anything.
Is it a big box? I have a colleague going back to Melbourne next week (lucky blighter), and I'm going to try to twist his arm to pop into MindGames on Swanston (I loved Australia - place feels like home to me already and I only spent 3 weeks there) and pick up a few games for me. I don't want to overburden him, you know, but I would like to make the most of the opportunity.
If it's not that big a box, I could add it to my list.
A bit of a ramble here, I know. To sum up then, I am interested but need to know how to play (which I imagine is best done with a copy of the game in your clutches).
