With even just 4, that is likely true. I certainly respect your opinons, but the game I played wasn't <I>that</I> bad. It wasn't great (and again, I wouldn't play it with 4 or less), but it was ok for a shorter 6-player game.Things of No Interesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613123851070841897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24032827.post-12541355092239874152008-03-10T13:39:00.000-07:002008-03-10T13:39:00.000-07:00The difference is, you can compare cards after dea...The difference is, you can compare cards after dealing them in <I>TransAmerica</I> and determine the winner. There is no need to play the game. With <I>Ingenious</I> you are drawing tiles throught the game and it you're having to adapt to the changing conditions.<BR/><BR/>Mike was so disappointed in your comment about liking the game.

Keep drawing those tiles that don't let you cash in on long color strings and you lose.Things of No Interesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613123851070841897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24032827.post-46783841576680685472008-03-10T12:32:00.000-07:002008-03-10T12:32:00.000-07:00TransAmerica is not a game, it's an activity.

With 6 players, the luck is really mitigated. With 2-4, I could see this being totally luck driven and as I said, I wouldn't play this at all. Its not anywhere near as bad as Killer Bunnies or Run For Your Life Candyman.
