April 06, 2009: I bought this game as a present for my visiting grandsons. The 10 year old looked through the cards and play tokens, took a quick look at the instructions, and declined to play. The eight year old gave it a try, but I found the instructions so unspecific about important details that we gave up. Later we tried to decide on our own rules to make the game functional, but the game was still tedious. When the kids packed for home, no one made an effort to stick the game in their luggage. After they left, I threw it away.
