Many US retailers sold the game at low prices ($10-$15 or so) for a period of time this year, when Uberplay decided to stop importing it.

Yes, plumage. With an extra M either for the Majestry of the components or because I was tired when typing, as you'd prefer...

Nizza's rank is deserved when played with 4-6 players... OTOH, it works REALLY well with 2-3 players.
