Another excellent walk-through of a rules set. You have a gift for this sort of thing. Thank you.

Is there a big difference between the original 1st edition and 2nd Editions?

The level of minutiae in this game might make it unplayable….like Cataclysm

This game is not for the faint of heart. I tried it a couple of years ago and gave up. It wasn't just the rules, but the victory conditions- so much to keep track of. I might try it again with the help of these videos, but I might need to wait until I'm retired or something as it's not for the casual gamer. Kind of like ASL.
