Although I consider myself overwhelmingly a Euro/Family gamer I too submitted my preorder last week. Here's why:
5) I already got my money's worth from Labyrinth: The War on Terror, 2001-? and that investment is still paying dividends. Just because a designer has come up with a game that appeals to me, however, is not reason enough for me to buy more of his work so please read on.
4) Interesting subject matter. Many years ago I watched an interesting documentary on the drug problem in Columbia and I was able to recall a recently watched interview with the nation's president where he highlighted his efforts against the FARC. Despite my interest in history, I find myself drawn again to a modern-conflict game as a way of feeling more engaged in world events.
3) New card driven mechanic and scalable from 1-4? AA starting to sound really good now. Though I will play primarily solo, I am intrigued by the opportunity to host multiple players. One of the drawbacks to bringing a 2 player game to a board game night at someone's house is that you're still hogging virtually the same amount of table space as a multiplayer game so it would be kinda rude if space was already maxed out.
2) The BGG forum support from Volko and Joel for Labyrinth is world class. I know that if users like me can't figure something out amongst ourselves then these guys will be there to clear things up pronto. (Thanks!) I expect AA will be no different.
1) Embossed wooden bits. Yeah, baby, yeah.
