That's called a joke.

To be honest I did find some of the rules a bit confusing at times and I was really more like 16 or so.

I really enjoyed the tactical games, more so than the strategic ones.

My 4 sisters and I used to play together - we'd always crack up all through it (we'd make up funny answers when we didn't know a legitimate one).

That looks like a good game for players that are not quite hardcore enough for Twilight Imperium.

when I was in high school. I can't really say that it was an improvement over regular chess but it looked cool. I got a kick out of Sheldon's rules for three-person chess. For example:

Prince Joey: The King's feeble-minded but well-meaning cousin. Every time he moves, there's a one-in-five chance he'll kill himself.
