I think they made some good points for sure. This game is meant to be in a home environment where it can be learned and understood at each persons own pace. After many months of ownership I am still learning new strategies, and this offers me good value because I know how I play the game right now may change when I figure out something else.
For the casual player you don’t need to wrap your head around all the rules to have a good game. But months down the road you will want to learn the rules more and more to get bigger scores. This game has tons of replayability, that’s what makes it a A+ game for me.
