The core game is great... BUT there are 2 major frustrating issues I have with this game. 1. Why in the world would they make you spend energy on playing each individual PHASE! You get a total of 50 energy points, and each phase costs 5 energy to play. So thats 10 phases you get to play before you're stuck doing nothing! I guess they don't want people to enjoy their game for more than 10 mins! Blows my mind. 2. The computer players are extremely good or "lucky" so often. Ran out of space here.
