Why is everyone thumbs-downing this comment? Scott himself decided to switch to this new format for a plethora of reasons that he addressed to us all.
Wow, I would of never thought you would of done a negative review. Kudos for sharing your truthful opinion rather than not post it or fake it like some other reviewers.
I wonder if the dynamite is to screw up someone who might be in the lead. One of the tough things about game design is trying to make it fair (and thus fun) for a wide variety of people with various skill levels.
Action point games, though, tend to be for high skill people, but at the same time the choices are so diluted that it feels like the people who follow you tend to be ahead, because all the options they have can change, while the decisions you made are stuck... I dunno, too abstract
The new formula's better!

Sounds like someone's cleaning up :)
With one to four actions, that sounds like it would be a bit bewildering on top of the action point stuff.
