Fri, 7 Jul 2000 03:03:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bacchus - I don't just like El Grande, I like it a lot. Outside of Chess or Go, I can think of no other games, that have such a richness to them and demand so much thought to play as El Grande does. It ranks as one of my all time favorite games, and yet has only...
