admin...under "game structures" the word "rescource" should be "resources" in the sentance
"an equal limit on game rescource for all players."

[mjx1]

[DavAlan]

[serendib]

in between i think the list became too long allready - consider that a well constructed deck consists of 60 cards

all the best wishes
