I looked around the websites it suggests to buy a copy, it is
sort of expensive isn't it?

Unfortunately, it does appear to be expensive, as the only version available
seems to be made out of hardwood.  The version that I have owned for a long
time is made out of normal plastic, and couldn't have cost me more than $20
when I got it years ago.

If they really want people to play the game, why don't they make a version
that is inexpensive, as well?

1)  The wooden pieces may be more expensive to produce than molded plastic
ones.  But having seen this game up close, the wooden pieces make all the
difference.

2)  Apparently it's quite possible to make your own game......... for free.
Using nothing more than the LEGO bricks you already own.  :)

I like reason #2 the best.

Also, that's a good rendetition of the game in Lego.  The building all look
very nice.

I think it's a fantastic use of LEGO bricks.  Not just another vehicle, or
building but something really out of the ordinary.  Not that there's
anything wrong with vehicles or buildings, but this is certainly a nice change.

Gary... any thought about doing other games in LEGO?  Or is this a one off?

Either way, great work!

All the best,
Allan B.
