Played a couple of times with long stretches in between. This can be a very fun game if you play it often enough with the same person/people. Always checking what card hands do what actions if you are unfamiliar. Plays within an hour which is a bonus.

Like the targeting system but can be very brutal if one guy gets all the right cards and you get none

Bought in brand new condition from Steve's Collection. Finally got this to the table. Played twice, once with simple rules and once with reputation and dirty event cards. I really want to like this game. I did enjoy myself for the most part. I like the basic mechanics and working to plan your attacks and thwart your opponent. I did not like the luck of the card draw, the inability to really come back once you get behind, and how the game can drag out trying to make the final winning move. The added cards for the "advanced" version make the game a little more interesting, though they can be swingy and after one play with them it's possible they are not balanced at all. Either way I think I will let this one go to make time for better two player games. Sold.
