Working on improving my game as I make too many mistakes. I just enjoy the tactile feel - not interested in the ultra-competitive scene.

An old game that I didn't play until my wife's family introduced me. Now we have a mini tournament every time we go on vacation together. It's fast and fun, and therefore the luckiness doesn't bother me at all. I also like that you can balance whether you want to play a complete luck-fest by being nice to each other, or you can play a harsh battle where moves are very cautious and strategic.Some people may have written off this classic as too lucky because of the dice aspect, but I would challenge them to play against seasoned veterans. There is a great deal of skill in this game, and it's a ton of fun to play. I've been told that the game improves even more when using the doubling cube which I've not tried yet. I think it could make this game near a 10 if it is an improvement.

I don't really see the attraction. I seesm so easy but I have never quite worked how to win. When I do my rating may go up.
