Fear the wrath of my cactus monsters!

hwangoSo, I got my box of the expansion for the Cute Game that has cactus monsters in it. Now I just have to get people to look past the cuteness and try the game. I've only played a couple of times, but it's actually more complex than it appears on the surface, from my experience. I remember one of the guys at 3 Trolls Games and Puzzles commenting when it first came out that he wasn't sure how it would do, because it was too cute-looking for serious gamers, and too complex for young gamers. Glad it survived long enough to put out the expansion that includes the Desert Region so we got cactus monsters, at least. I don't know if they're actually still planning expansions or not.
Much talk of cacti lately. Gotta scan in a picture of my Brain Cactus so I can show it to some people in my gaming group. It came up earlier tonight, but descriptions just don't do it justice. Ideally you've got to see it for yourself, but I don't really want to take it with me to the game. For one thing, it lives next to one of those freaking annoying cacti with the thousands of tiny barbs, which sometimes shed onto the neighboring plants, so I've got to worry that every time I pick it up I might have something tiny and painful stuck in me. Aargh, I _so_ prefer the cacti that just have normal spines. If you touch one of those it feels prickly, and if you're dumb enough to push harder maybe it kinda hurts. Those stupid things with their barbs, all you have to do is brush against it and you have a dozen tiny barbs stuck in you. They're pure evil, I say. Well, not pure evil, 'cause they're still cacti, but they're definitely the most evil of the cacti.
