Ar> Any opinion regarding whether this is an issue during normal play?
Oh yes, nice. Theres a self-playable? wow. I seem to recall the game play
including a traitor.. and it will take a number of turns before anyone will have
a clue. If you play with people who are used to being deceived in games, they
can figure it out quicker. It's also your actions that will give you away. Fun
game though.
