I never even heard of this game until a few weeks ago when someone started a thread about the game being released.

It sounded interesting and I purchased the game the next day. I was surprised at the learning curve, but figured it would be large. I read the manual, went through the tutorial (which kind of blows), and started playing the short games.

The short games take about two hours to play, and now I'm playing the epic games.

I must say, I don't get it; I mean I get it, but I don't understand what is so addicting. It's a pretty boring game to me. What am I missing?

My brother and I talked about it, and he said I probably would enjoy Age of Empires better. Never played that either, but not sure I should take the chance.
