I played this ...Indeed I am continuing to enjoy it! I played this past week @ Gamestorm 3 player and enjoyed it at well - the play is certainly different with 3 as you have less protection from your 3 wilds. I also got totally stomped by my much better card playing friend in 2-player. Also played 2-player tonight and was getting stomped AGAIN. We originally were playing to 250 and, once we did, I was starting to make a comeback. So, we decided to continue and I kept gaining ground to where it was finally 345 to 331! I didn't win the final hand, but was very glad we continued playing. To help turn it around I started betting high every round and started playing unusual combinations which threw my buddy off I think and drained my hands quickly. But then he caught on and started doing the same thing. We were playing our wilds as wilds a lot more and less as bombs. So many subtleties to this game. It is his favorite new game for the year!Matt Stevenson (tasajara on BGG)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12944816955442727971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678683858871588370.post-73130898103864078672011-03-30T13:36:24.434-07:002011-03-30T13:36:24.434-07:00Just wanted to take a moment to thank you, Matt, f...Just wanted to take a moment to thank you, Matt, for the interview.
