Has anyone here played this? This is one of my all time favorite board games.

Unfortunately, it’s out of print. You can sometimes find it for sale on eBay.

I have it and love it, but somehow it always falls flat when I bring it out. Most people I play with find it too light. I’ve never gotten to try many of the variants.

Everyone I’ve played it with seemed to like it.  
I think some people think that it’s more or less random due to the dice rolls but, like backgammon, strategy is more important in the long run.
