      Yeah, it’d maybe be in my top 20. I don’t think it’s quite as robust as you seem to, it can easily hose players.

    Awkward Guests indeed: my favorite from the A games I own.
    And I just noticed in this video, although it has been around for some time now: I love that the time signatures in the separator jingles correspond to the numbers themselves! (Starting with number 9, that is) That’s a really, really cool detail!

      It's a fantastic game, but has a LOT of issues for a broad gaming audience.
      1. Out of print.
      2. Rules/Terms Heavy
      3. Commitment - requires involved, knowledgeable players
      Those hurdles are a lot to get over for a game among thousands of games.

    Nice to see Adrenaline get a mention, it's very under-rated/under-appreciated. Great game. I remember the first time I played it with my old game group and warning them not to gang up on the same person (which was usually me), but they didn't listen and I was killed more than anyone else, but I won the game. :-) Very satisfying.
