Oh, and here's another random thought on the theme. I'm not about to say that the DC game is incredibly strong on theme, but one thematic "flaw" that often gets brought up is that the players represent different members of the JLA yet they are fighting against one another. I can't believe that anybody who's read a comic book can fuss about that and keep a straight face. How many times have we seen mind-controllers/magic artifacts/secret wars/etc etc cause heroes to compete against one another? Can you get through a year in comics when that doesn't happen at LEAST once?
Of course nobody wants to hear that as an excuse, since it isn't written that way as a prologue in the game. People think a theme is only worthwhile if it has a 5 page written explanation as to why you are playing the game. If that was true, then nobody would play a eurogame. It's like as a hobby, we have forgotten to have fun, because we think we are entitled to having EVERY game be a masterpiece. I don't need a reason to play YINSH, and I don't need a reason to play this. Let's remember that FUN used to be reason enough to play a game.
