Yeah, I saw that.. but I also read some various review that liked the game as long as it was played with the optional "advanced" rules, and with some kind of add-on ruleset as well. Keep in mind I'm looking for something for the family to play.. who generally don't like playing anything remotely as complicated as the stuff we're prone to getting involved in.
Maybe I'll try to read through the rulebook if I can find a copy of it online and see what that looks like. Basically, I'm looking for something to get the family as a whole interested in doing something besides parking it in front of the TV on Friday nights.
