by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 03 '01

Pros: No luck, Solid strategy, Fun player interaction

A classic, though not for everyone

by geenius , Jun 26 '00
Pros: Outstanding strategic depth
Cons: Only works really well with seven players; deceit and alliance-breaking uncomfortable for many people
