I don't have it, but have played it.  Didn't care for it at the time, but can't condemn it easily without more plays.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

What, in your brief examination, were the issues?

Fuck if I remember.  I played it once very shortly after it was release.  I just recall generic boredom.  That and I was able to point out some errata after a single read through the rulebook, which always annoys the hell out of me.

I figured it just didn't appeal to your card sharkism.   :P

The GMT folder just had a nice brew-up over the Labyrinth expansion.  The designer apparently wanted to include a card representing the death of Kayla Mueller, complete with her picture front and center. :yuk:

I can't speak to that particular title--Habbaku may have it--but it seems to have a happy following over at BGG (Dave Dockter, Mr. Triumph of Chaos himself, wrote a glowing review), and Compass does make decent stuff, production-wise.

Saw that review :)
Was very relieved to see his biggest complaint was insufficient chrome.   :lol:

It is a very chrome-light game, aye.

Well, it is Dave Dockter.  A '61 Imperial has insufficient chrome for him.

The Crimean War game arrived from Poland.

NK sent SPI's Crimean War Quad too.

B4, do you play with locals or something? How much gaming do you typically get in during the month? Or are you like Seedy?  :P

I'm sure that, much like Seedy, he can tell you to go fuck yourself.

I'm nicer.

I have very little time to drive 50+ miles to a game group. I solo a lot. I'm currently on a tac ACW, Franco Prussian, Crimea, and SA War kick. I hope Herman keeps going with his system.


Poles did a good job. Nice production.
