Well scripted, simple and intuitive operation, and I love the subtle design.
The basic ruleset follows Irving Finkel's cuneiform tablet translation (worth watching his vids).
The only suggestion I'd make is that it would be nice to have the rules available as a menu option or otherwise included with the game...

and by that title i mean i can honestly see this game being placed in all sorts of places. clubs. cofeeshops, shopping centres and so on and so on. instead of those big game tables made for one game we got a little easy to use board taht can be placed everywhere!

the gameplay is super simple and fun. a good mix between luck and strategy. i could play that for a couple hours or heck i could see this game have tournaments heh.

beside all that. its amazing to think that this game is actually one of or the first ever board game in history of mankind remade in Second life.

super fun 5 stars would play again

I purchased this to put near my office with a few other games after trying a copy the maker was nice enough to give me. The prim count is a little high but has the advertisement says it is fully animated. Nice game over all. Thank you!

Heard about the game from a friend. Looked up few videos on youtube and was intrigued. Searched for it in SL and found this. Bought it and played it with friends. So much fun teaching new people rules. Product works and feels good and I would suggest it to anyone who wants to have good time with friends.
