The scoring for Arboretum is really interesting, especially the fact that you can only score for a type of tree if you have the most value of the type of tree left in your hand at the end of the game. That really complicates things. Of course there's the whole one negates an eight thing that you have to worry about. I don't think that came up in their scoring, but they were pretty careful about it during their game. I like the twists in scoring and the beautiful cards, but the game might be too tense for me. I enjoyed listening to their silly conversations as they played.

Why does Mike look familiar? I know he was in at least one other episode, but where else have I seen him?
