Dopo un primo impatto positivo (dovuto principalmente alla grafica molto curata e alle descrizioni "a tema") ho dovuto rivalutare il gioco. Gli scenari proposti sono cosi' tanti e cosi' dipendenti da un alto numero di fattori che e' fin troppo facile, per una delle due parti, essere in netto vantaggio rispetto all'altra al momento della rivelazione dello scenario. Questo, unito al fatto che alla fine diventa un "uno contro tutti", porta ad un senso di impotenza perche' spesso si vince (o si perde) senza meriti (o demeriti).
Tutto questo condito da regole che devono essere rappezzate da FAQ perche' incomplete o poco chiare.
In definitiva (visto poi il prezzo) NON comprate questo gioco, aspettatene una seconda edizione (se mai uscira').
