I remember it from back in the day. I couldn't stand it. Then again, I much preferred the freedom of a full RPG and being constrained to a board annoyed the hell out of me, regardless of the game. There seem to be a lot of digital recreations of board games these days: Talisman, Pandemic, erm... some other ones that I can't remember now ;-) I guess it's a quick way to tap into the nostalgia factor (e.g., easy cash) but I've yet to see one that was 1/10th as much fun as playing it with a bunch of friends around a real board... Say... anyone up for a game of Shogun? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/221/ikusa (I loved that game; it took something like three hours just to set up and by the time everyone finished their first move everyone had to go home ;-)
