Good review, Shannon.

I played Goa once and found it to be boring... I felt like I was playing a collection of disparate game mechanics rather than an actual game.

Maybe some hardcore gamers enjoy the challenge of taking a system and seeing who can manipulate it most effectively, but I prefer a wee bit of a theme to help remind me of the game-ness of it all.

Thanks. It's been good to see your reviews too! In particular you review of Space Beans knocked it off of my "maybe" list to "no way".
