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)
Finaly this game has enough upward momentum that i can Farkle! twice in the same turn without throwing us into the dreaded double farkle spiral of doom.
Camden, and declaring home stations at Picadilly and Victoria. Snags, for a beginner you show promise, Sir or Madam(which are you?). I'm sure you'll understand that this is why I came out at you so aggressively in the opening phase. My philosophy is always to stamp hard on the new bloods and see how they handle themselves. I do this in the hope that they'll not merely survive, but also thrive under pressure, becoming stronger as a result. Evil Doctor Thrax, as I am known to some, is not entirely without compassion you know. In any event, I'm impressed by how well you handled yourself back there. Respect earned, and given. *doffs hat.*
Since Thrax seems to be playing rather a lot in this game, I have ample opportunity to study the intended style and position before plunging in. In this case, with Lancaster Gate, for maximum inconvenience - nothing personal, but I'm not about to let anybody get too far ahead purely through overactivity ;-)
since this game seems to be slowing down one turn should last long enough to play all four Acton's, thats right north south east and west all in one verry long turn. now are you happy JLE?
