When players are balanced skill wise and each get down to 3/4 pieces. That is fun.

Good game. I liked the Bomb games where you have to build up squares to explode and get more squares than other players etc. I want to see that sort of game on a console. Charlies blast territory did it a bit but it needs a big board and it needs to be turn based.

I played agame called Hexatoms on my Acorn. It was really good.
Another game like it was chain reaction.

Perhaps the game could have a built in time limit, whereby banckruptcy is not the only way to finish the game, but each time you went to jail you picked up a sphincter card, as you visited jail more and more your sphincter would get wider and wider, after it reaches a certain diameter, you are out of the game.

A phrase such as "Damaged goods" is then shouted at the said player by his opposition.

A quick game? What is better about a long game?
