Ok, so I actually played this. My Knight died in the second pass. Really, the rules are more fun to read than to actually play. But it is a great game to play alone while, say, in a motel room with the in-laws waiting for everyone to get ready to go out for lunch. I highly HIGHLY recommend this game!

Brilliant and hilarious. It seems that the author reads the same articles in his spare (work) time that I do. You can memorize the rules in one read-through.
