If someone else chooses it, you just get to consume unless you have a fancy-pants power somewhere in your spread (I love the game, but hate calling my cards in play a "tableau"). Just wanted to point this our so someone who is unsure on the rules won't be confused, as the trading phase is one of the trickier bits of the game.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991066585056652444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-24885808400138776552009-05-06T11:19:00.000-07:002009-05-06T11:19:00.000-07:00Got this for my B-Day so thanks for the review.

I also have read the rules like a million times and am still having trouble!Enriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013606211851487172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-32192005002504020732009-04-13T17:41:00.000-07:002009-04-13T17:41:00.000-07:00From what I hear, this game is very similar to San...From what I hear, this game is very similar to San Juan, but I've never played San Juan, so I can't say for sure. Both are Puerto Rico spin-offs - attempts by the designers to make a card-based version of Puerto Rico. It's kind of funny, actually, because Puerto Rico bores me to tears, and I flat-out LOVE Race for the Galaxy.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-38454958450273437612009-04-13T08:27:00.000-07:002009-04-13T08:27:00.000-07:00This game sounds a bit like San Juan.
