Some of my games are symmetric, others of them are not. Not all of them are bad, not all of them are superb. I like some symmetric and some non-symmetric games, but symmetry is not of a particular importance in my evaluation and feeling of the game; the main factor, for me, is the beauty of the game play, and for it, I have to play the game a few times to feel it. I have not played any of your games in the symmetrical collection, and for this reason I can not give an opinion yet, but in every case, my opinion should be only one opinion, as valious or not as yours. The important thing is that some people can enjoy a game in some moment, and people can enjoy a game by many factors, if there is some people which love a game because the game has a particular characteristic, it is normal, but it is also normal that the main attractive of the game is not a particular characteristic but the art seen in the game play, or more simple, a preference which can´t be described with this kind of simplicities as symmetry. I like Escher, but I like Picasso too.
