Great to see you guys getting to use your amazing collections.<br /><br />The one thing about trying new rule sets I found is that most of them take two or three games at least before the mechanisms and interrelationships between them really becomes evident, so unless they are clearly not everyone's cup of tea, giving the rules another shot may not be such a bad idea.<br /><br />Looking forward to your next AAR!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889130893225462338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-77260055714659053622013-05-09T05:35:50.250-04:002013-05-09T05:35:50.250-04:00A great looking game, beaut game report and review...A great looking game, beaut game report and review of a set of rules to boot; fabulous!<br /><br />We have tested quite a few sets of rules too. Sometimes you know a set is not for you, other times they are worth a second go. Sounds like these are in the latter category for you three.<br /><br />[Interestingly, given your next test, our preferred rule set is Shako with bits from Shako II and some of our own edits!]James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-62208402641229082952013-05-06T09:54:30.898-04:002013-05-06T09:54:30.898-04:00Very nice write-up and excellent pictures.
