My Thoughts
This game looks really fun. It's not overly complicated, but it has lots of options. Plus, everyone gets a "stomach." I noticed that they kept confusing body and population sizes. Wouldn't it help if the cubes were different colors?
Rich shared how/why he learned to shuffle and I'm still wondering about Dave, but I thought I'd share my shuffling story with you. Not that I'm an expert, but I had fun learning. My Mom and Dad played cribbage a lot. They also both played solitaire. So, I saw lots of shuffling, but I couldn't seem to get it. My Dad had this automatic shuffler. Basically, you put half the cards in each side and then twisted the sides somehow and the cards shuffled. I spent time with that, shuffling very slowly and watching what happened. Then, I just practiced over and over again until I could do it. I had a book of solitaire games I would shuffle, play one of them (on the red carpet of my floor), then shuffle some more. My older daughter wanted to learn to shuffle, so after showing her the basics, I told her how I learned and she did the same (without the automatic shuffler). So, I just spent 30 minutes trying to find a picture of a shuffler like the one we had in the 1970s. I can't find anything like it. These shufflers are really automatic (even when they are manual). Ours basically just held the cards for you. So, I don't know. Maybe it was a dream.
Wait, strike that, reverse it. I found it! See the pictures below. I'm not sure this is the same brand, but it looks the same. It's funny. I always thought that was a fancy shuffler, but now I've seen fancy. They have cranks and batteries and everything in current shufflers and older shufflers. Oh, well. I don't think I could have learned with a crank shuffler.
