Lest I forget

Tried Strange Synergy at Brandeis last night. Fun game, although what cards you get can tilt the balance rather heavily. This needs further study.

Our conclusion was that the game is fun if and only if you don't take it too seriously. Our first game proved to be both balanced and slow (about 1.5 hours for a three-person game, IIRC), but hungrytiger has led me to understand that that's unusual -- it's more often fairly unbalanced, and sometimes turns into a massacre.

OTOH, as a light tactical exercise with opportunities for goofy roleplaying, it's fun...
