Hi Matt,

First post here, so I'll just go ahead and assume that you'll
respect my opinion as well. :P Overalll, I think the game could work
rather well if implemented correctly, and that means coding out the
smallest details.  In most cases, IME, over-simplification of the
idea generally leads to a great train-wreck of code (e.g. your eyes
are bigger than your stomach).

Just my thoughts,

 John
