This game was well-done and fun. I had a little bit of problem in the very beginning, trying to figure out how to set myself up as a player; but since after that I had no problems at all, I have to figure I was reading the rules with one eye shut. There are 3 computer characters, each is a different level; and as a tuditoral you can allow the game to play with yourself. More fun though is to add yourself as a player, and then the game will keep track of wins and losses. Right now, all you can play with is beginner, and intermediate; the expert module, it sounds to me, like it isn't available yet. However, don't worry, even the beginner is a pretty smart player, for a beginner. And the intermediate? I'm still mad at her.

You know these got to be wicked opponents, when one section in the rules, covers cheating-as in the game IS NOT cheating. Think they got a lot of mail about it? I do. Anyway keep trying, and someday you too can be a winner-honest.
