you are correct to assume i am a beginer as this is my first true game(i ahve played many against the java applet) but do not concider me an amature, i have spent three days learning the rules and now that the waffles have cooled for many hours i can play Kenton and double my life total.(although i still am not certan if we each have our own player tokens or if there is one community token that we all move)
