Dear Mr. Joyce: You indicate that this game of yours is deliberately loaded down with excess baggage. But I looked at the game and do not understand that comment. The game looks well-balanced to me. And since you and Mr. Duke have not played it, why are you both so hard on it? Shouldn't you 'give it a spin around the block?'

Mr. Joyce, you say it is cluttered with a 'whole bunch of new or unusual pieces of different styles that have little history of working together...' You say, 'That unfamiliarity hurts its initial playability.' And you say that is a fault of yours. You say you get lazy and make one test game do extra testing.' This comment seems sad to me. You obviously are not lazy. Please do not insult yourself or your games. Let your own game's game play speak for itself. Please do not cave in so easy. You gentlemen, I think, should play each other in this game... and then discuss it. I would love to watch.
