(...) Duh, I even forgot to reply to the main thrust of this message. Anyway, IMHO, 2000 castle does *not* suck. Both of the Bulls/Cowpack sets I've picked up (Catapult Crusher and Axe Cart) have been pretty nifty, and the Guarded Treasury looks (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

I humbly disagree with you Jonathan(1). I am glad that Castle is back (in grey). Some of the parts do suck, but some of the parts are terrific! Same as any other year. Personally, I think 91 Castle sucked, but not this forthcoming year. Not at all. (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
