[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2785949, member: 19675"] My only gripe about the game is setup time/breakdown time & difficulty. I only have so much storage space, so I must store the starships (I only have[I] Rocketmen[/I]) in their original form, so every time we play, we must build the ships anew. A typical 2 player game starts with players getting 30 build points for their main fleet, and 30 points for their reserves. Most ships are between 9-14 points, and crew are 1-3 points each. While that means you only have a few ships, some are quite complex or have a lot of weapon/shield pods. Result...it may take you a few minutes per ship for construction. The game itself, however, rocks! I got lucky- my FLGS overbought [I]Rocketmen[/I], and they're currently selling it for 1/2 price. At $2/pack, that means you can get into the game dirt cheap! (Bad news- distribution. I've bought lots and still don't have a complete set...and an expansion set is due out any day now!) I don't know about Yu Gi Oh, but I was a MTG player from Alpha to 6thEd (I quit over idiotic tournament/card rulings and the continued production of [I]obviously[/I] broken cards)- I have made several decks that were competitive with mostly commons & uncommons. [I]Imagination[/I] was the key. [/QUOTE]
