I enjoyed listening to you talk about this game however, Wondering how you can come to a rating if you have not played the game correctly yet ? Have you ever returned to play a correct game
Joe Drimmer
Thank you for the wonderful overview, but... by bgg the designers of this game are different from the first campaign so... I'm not sure why you haven't mentioned this.
