Re: Recycle Rush Farewell
Not a fan.
Totes were a really good game piece choice: new and challenging.
Recycling containers felt a bit improvised but sure what the heck.
The pool noodles were a horrible addition and only added to the importance of the human player (which was already easy higher that I think it should be). The use of noodles as defensive pieces (throwing them so that they impede the opposing alliance) was annoying.
The 3v0 aspect made the game incredibly boring. This was again exaggerated by the can burgling, which apart from the noodles was the only competitive interaction between the alliances. Games were over literally less than a second after they began, and strategy had very little place on the field compared to previous years.
Good riddance indeed...
