I set my expectations low when I saw the empty hype the beginning of the article was building up, but this game actually sounds quite strategically interesting.<p>I definitely see why this is the kind of game that isn't the same without money, much like poker and backgammon. I hope there's some kind of micropayment platform that it could eventually support to avoid the credit-card fees and the check-mailing fees.<p>(No, not bitcoin. Most people can't use bitcoin.)
