Vermithrax]I have not played it....but after reading the review of it, here's the problem it holds in my life:
1. It's too complicated for a kid.
2. Girls won't play it.
3. You're going to need at least 3 other (preferably 5 other) guys to make it really fun.
4. You can't hack a board game. Seriously how am I suppose to win at this crap? I guess I could move pieces when nobody is looking, but that's hard to do on a game board that is 5 feet long.
5. Where the fuck do I find 5 other people to come to my house and spend hours playing a board game? I'm fucking old and all my friends either have kids and families or are lazy like Roby and wouldn't make time for it over a video game, or both.
I would totally geek out and play this board game, but same thing as you said in #5. Where the fuck am I going to find 4 other dudes to play this dorky thing? Most of the time when there are 5 dudes at my place it's because of a card game or soapboys orgy. Nobody is interested in board games anymore.
