Feb. 4th, 2009 04:29 pmTerrycloth notes stuff that I interpret as, "the first player has a huge advantage, instantly putting the second player on the defensive." I saw that too: the first player can get an orren in the river instantly, which is a very big deal.
Also, I've found crossing the river to be very awkward. If you put a piece in the river, you're pretty much begging to be forked, since the river itself is attacking the piece that's in it. Also, having an orren in the river is a huge advantage.
1 = hate the idea, 10 = love it.
