I got the demo set in yesterday, and the game is gorgeous, and we're
looking forward to generating some excitment for the game by the time it
appears mid-August. The game play is relatively simple to grasp the
basics, then it takes a bit more study to get to the strategy of it all.

I know the collectibility of the pieces is going to turn some people off
of the game. As a retailer, of course, I enjoy what collectibility does
to
my cash register. As a player, I'm torn on it. I like the excitment of
the
chase, but if I'm really wanting a particular piece, then I'm going to
be
frustrated if it doesn't turn up within a few purchases.

Give the game a try...I think most of you will find it enjoyable. And if
nothing else, the pieces are beautiful to look at--and not all of them
are
little 'girlie' figures. They should appeal to both genders.
