This is the game that got me started into the hobby a few months ago. I had never played any other board game beside Monopoly and Parcheesi... so this was it. What else can I say about this game that hasn't already been said.. it is pretty much the perfect gateway game, the one that you can show to someone and who doesn't play board games and probably hook him/her into it. It's one of my favorites and it's pretty much as you can see in all the other reviews, a game that's in every gamer's shelf. If you like having fun, GET THIS IMMEDIATELY.
