I've had to explain it to people myself. I think the problem is it's too simple when people are expecting complicated. "Draw one card, play one card, do what it says on the card." That's literally all the rules you need to play the game; everything else is printed on the cards. I think the biggest question I've gotten from "non-gamers" is, when I play a card, what do I do with it? Maybe a short explanation of each card type, perhaps taken directly from the card? I'm really not sure because I "got" it right away. But then I'm a Magic player from way back, so I understood the "do what it says on the card" part. -- Chris Goodwin cgoodwin@xxxxxxxxx
