It was fun for a while, but became increasingly frustrating until we concluded that too much happens between turns for any player to achieve an actual victory. The ball would get piled on, and there would be this interesting jockeying for position, and it would squirt out and give someone an advantage, but there would be a new pile a few squares away before they could convert that to a goal. I really wanted to try the game with two players, as I suspect I'd like it. I never got a chance, so I didn't feel I could evaluate the game fairly. (The latter is probably a large part of why I didn't submit rankings for the competition, but that's my own fault.) > As was mentioned on the wiki, MCC is hurt somewhat by the fact that it is > theme-free.
