A short note on this entry —
I have always thought a good board game is one where two of the players can leave halfway through and the remaining two still want to keep playing. By that test, this is a good board game. Bertram opened the box at the bench last Tuesday, counted every meeple against the manifest twice, and shrink-wrapped it again because the original wrap was perfect.
