There is some, but I've seen Ameri-style players get frustrated at not being able to rein in a runaway leader by attacking him.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the riskiness of the first-turn double dragon. The first-turn single dragon is helpful too, but a first-turn build to a new palace does the same thing VP-wise, with the added bonus of being able to hold more People. It all depends on where the Droughts are.<BR/><BR/>It's a finely-tuned game, and one I get a big kick out of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19884352.post-55771923570242022402008-02-24T12:14:00.000-07:002008-02-24T12:14:00.000-07:00I think there's a TON of interaction in ItYotD!

There's very little money income, and having to choose the same action as someone else might either be impossible, or leave you broke.<BR/><BR/>I've only played 1 game so far, but in that game, the first turn double dragon player did not win. I think going broke in that game is too much of a drawback. I might consider a single dragon turn 1, as that leaves you enough money to double up 1 time, twice if you ever take money.<BR/><BR/>I have a suspicion that you can do OK not buying dragons, not taking money, and saving your starting cash for doubling up on an action.<BR/><BR/>I can see a couple different strategies sort of unfolding in my head, and I look forward to playing some more to explore them.Seth Jaffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449603052617321357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19884352.post-6457082406604103742008-02-22T10:40:00.000-07:002008-02-22T10:40:00.000-07:00I'm really curious about Kingsburg.I like ItYotD a...I'm really curious about Kingsburg.<BR/><BR/>I like ItYotD a lot! I just posted a solitaire variant on the Geek last night. <BR/><BR/>Like Notre Dame, it doesn't have a huge amount of player interaction, but I tend to like that in a game.<BR/><BR/>There's debate about whether the ability to get a double-privilege in the first turn is overpowered. I'm curious to know your thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
