She was five days in hospital, because Helena got jaundice, so while the little one was under a sun lamp, she got really bored. Korea blew my mind, especially at first. You managed to control things pretty well. I was sure you were going to win it until I was forced to help Eric. I am starting to agree that Wallenstein is overrated, but the tower is *very* nice. You're too harsh on the Doktor. I was not blown away by Blue Moon (maybe 9/10 is too generous), but it's definitely very solid. I have only played Hera and Zeus out of that list and I would rather play LOTR: Confrontation instead every time. She suggested the gaming!

One of the Froggies told me that Korea would 'blow my mind' but I found it a bit disappointing (although it's AOS so it's still excellent) Wallenstein - way overrated. Will play occasionally on spielbyweb now but there are much better games. Blue Moon - only played once but didn't think it was as good as a lot of the other 2 player Kosmos games (notably Jambo, Heave Ho, Hera & Zeus, Caesar & Cleopatra). Another example of a Knizia game where people think it's better than it really is just because it's a Knizia game :) AoS – I think Scandanavia and Ireland are the toughest Warfrog maps.
