Too bad the game dosen't sound great as this would be right up my old man's alley. Good review, I felt like had played it and been dissapointed by the end.

I suggested dual-purpose cards in the review, but a similar (probably better) approach would be a rule that allows you to play any two identical cards as a single Swim or Chase card. This would give each player more tactical choices, and it would give some purpose to those excess Sturgeon (or whatever) cards clogging up his hand.

If there were a few more swim cards and/or a higher hand limit, do you think the game would be a lot more fun? Seems like an easy enough fix for a second printing to fix.

As much as I like card games, this one doesn't sound like much fun. Rliyen Wed, 23 Mar 2011 08:56:59 +0100
