I've had my eye on this since reading about it here on F:AT, but apparently the second P500 printing is now sold out online everywhere. It's my own fault, since I tend to force myself to hold off on board game purchases until I've decided that I MUST HAVE something four or five times. But there's a copy at my FLGS, so my question is:

Those of you who own this game, how do you feel about if after a couple years? Do you still want to play? Is there room to develop strategy over many plays? If you got rid of it, why? For the sake of the discussion, let's assume that I have the ideal personality (and gaming partner) to completely enjoy this game. I don't necessarily mind paying the list price, so long as have reason to believe I won't feel like I've fully explored it after only playing 7 times.

I've put over 50 plays into this game, and I still enjoy it. There's not much spatial positioning compared to other wargames, but it is certainly wide enough to force a player to adapt to certain strategies depending on their hand, the moves of the opponent, and bluffs.

As you get further into the game, especially against known opponents, it becomes far more of a head game. The hand management is very well implemented and brings life to the game that the simple point-to-point movement doesn't. If you enjoy bluffing, card management, and abstracts, I'd say go for it. Even when I reviewed the game here I mentioned that the system is very much a hybrid, however, so you may want to pass if you are looking for a more traditional wargame.

I'd still say it's one of the better games to come out in the last number of years. I love both abstracts and poker, so maybe it struck the right chord.

i've probably got around 15 games down and would agree with most of what Samoko says. There are only so many lines of advance, but the mind games are plentiful and the card draw/unit draw can change a lot.
