We purchased this game three years ago. Upon opening it, I slumped when I saw all the pieces to it. I was even more dissappointed when the only instructions in our box were in Spanish! So--on to the shelf it went and I promised the kids we would play it "another time". Reading the reviews of what a beating it is to put together, how the game itself is not fun, etc. only helped to deter my motivation in playing it.
