Humdog, re: “the game lacks poetry, or what the spanish language calls “duende” — a kind of compelling or haunting emotional power.” Well the game never laughs for what the Russians call “zloradost’” or “evil joy” (Germans call it something like that too). But seriously, you are missing so many levels of the game, and you never see its phenomenal poetry in motion as some of us do. Perhaps it’s because you merely use people to “green on”?
