my idea is that a BOX is a VERY good strategy, ESPECIALLY if I were to
have KATE and Abby, and ROB each enter one.
A Magno would be sure to score then.
a play field of box's is not a game i want to play.
if i were to do BoP again, i would not allow the tower bots. and add a
size rule.
the same with this game. i dont want to see 10 box's sitting there. so
help me out. what can we do to prevent that?
I will agree that a HITW input will be a VERY hard game. thats why i
sugested it.
Chris
