Quick Comment: A simple "take-that" game, but has combos and is fairly fun, even though it's a little long with four players.

you have great timing with this...I just bought the game along with sabotage in one shot over the weekend to save on the cost of uying a big box game this time aorund.

I am always worried when I purchase a game that doesn't contain cardboard and wood bits (ie buying a card game)...so its good to see that you were satisfied with your purchase. I will get to playing mine this afternoon. thanks!

Holy wah! This is an expensive place to put random crap! And further, please DO NOT FIX GeekQuestions tipping** OR thumb counts. Both are a critical part of its charm (such as it is). ** Except for Purplewurple who totally deserves it!

Interesting take on it Tom. I love "take that" games like Munchkin, heck I even like Killer Bunnies, but I found this game fairly dull. I have only palyed it twice and each time it was two player. I wonder if a 3 player game is a sweet spot for this game.
Cheers,
Van

I think Infernal Contraption is pretty good, but with 2 I like the purity of the two compeditors. With 3 and 4, one person gets ganged up on early, but that's the way it goes I guess.
