I played this pre-release at a con....think it was GenCon. I was ready to fall in love with the game as I liked the look and components, which they did nicely. Unfortunately, the person who ran the playtest didn't do a good job with it. The game seemed overly random based on the card draw and seemed confusing to play with the large number of cards and their lack of organization. Not willing to write it off after one bad experience, but probably wait for others to size it up first.
