Pros: You'll kick the crap out of the recreational players after working out on this thing.

Pros: easy to learn, close to real thing as possible, graphics
Cons: none

Pros: Classy graphics, helpful training games, animated Maven
Cons: Sounds get annoying after a while, can't turn off the "lose turn when challenged" rule.
Summary: Having played Hasbro's previous version of this game, I was a bit leery about spending $30 on the new version. The old version was playable but it had some serious problems as well. I'm happy to report that Hasbro has made great leaps in their new ... read more
