THat's fair. I kind of feel that way about Alien Frontiers. Your original comment sounded more like a design critique, so I thought I'd offer a differing take.

Well it was a design critique, but not a very informed or articulate one. The truth is that Cyclades is a game I appreciate in the abstract, but in practice it just ended up feeling too razor-thin for me to enjoy it all that much. I like my games to have a certain amount of play strategically, and it just felt more unforgiving than I guess I wanted or expected.

I'm with you an Alien Frontiers too.

Do you have an Aramex mailbox or something?


Mighty thanks for the offer. But I think sending anything from the kingdom to Indonesia would be more of a hassle than anything! :D
