I am totally getting one of these games to play at parties. The best game ever.

They had some sort of proto-type version of the game at the SF Event. I looked at the box but didn't think to take any pictures or take the lid off the box (duh... at least my puzzle solving abilities were a little sharper that day).

Maybe somebody else took pictures?

The prototype at the SF live event looked pretty cool to me. It will probably be expensive since it has lots of pieces and lots of questions.

I agree that the few cards I looked at seemed much easier than most of our puzzles, rather on the level of the red cards, maaaaybe orange.

Eesier puzzles will make it possible that some of our less geeky friends will join us in the game. And what do you want to bet they will soon come out with more advanced card sets for the diehards?

Looks like the price point will be $40 or maybe $50.

I think the puzzles used at the London event were similar to the ones in the board game, if not from the board game.

In which case, they're not too tricky, but there's some horrifically obscure stuff about film directors and the like. Well, I though it was obscure. But like someone said above, it'll be nice to have a game that you're actually capable of playing at the age of 20.

Will you need to have a cock in your hand? Laughing

I find that having a big, red, shiny cock in one's hand makes playing any board game slightly more bearable.
