Funny thing about that ^

In Scotland, that's regarded as arithmetic. Maths is shapes, formulae etc.

When I was at school ('79-83), Maths was a separate exam/subject to Arithmetic whilst in England Maths and Arithmetic were under the same exam/subject.

However - English was split into English Literature and English Language in England whilst in Scotland we only had English (not two subjects/exams)

But we always considered shapes and stuff to be geometry. ???

Yeah, I bet that surprised you  :whistle: ;)

I have to say, these are some of the best quality components I have ever seen in a game.

I've really been looking forwards to it.  :)

Plus the fact that its something totally different from what I usually play, and its a nice change from the challenges of LHY!

How did you absorb the rules so fast?

I'm only on the basic stuff as yet - not got to the advanced rules. I'll be reading them in bed tonight with a mug of cocoa and a couple of chocolate Hob-Nobs :-))

Bear in mind that I downloaded the rules several days ago and have been reading them fairly frequently, so I have had a bit of a head start.
