Anyone here ever play this? I found a copy of the game this Christmas at Barnes and Noble and picked it up. The pieces are like thick dominoes and feel good. There's an iPod app with so-so AI and and a better one at boardspace.net

Looks pretty interesting, from the wiki page. I might have to consider checking out boardspace.net to try it... if you offer a good review on it

I have played it, dozens of times.

It's alot of fun, and has good amount of depth to it. Not one that I play too often anymore, but it's still a solid game.

Game is pretty fun imo. The game mechanics are different enough to make it stand out for me and it scratches that abstract strategy itch. Very portable and I will be getting the expansion pieces.
