It targets a very specific kind a board players. The one with dozen of boxes on their shelves, with titles you never heard of. I got a friend like that, every time he invites me for a game afternoon it's always a ton of fun... after the boring 2 hours spent for the new comers to adjust to the rules.

So yeah, not for everybody, but I look forward to play it. I may offer it actually.

My friend is like that too, he also does it's own games... with complicated rules too haha

I prefer the most bang for the rules, they should be as simple as possible to let the game still be interesting

Have you played go? That's about as simple as it gets and still incredibly deep, strategic, tactical and interesting.
