I’ve loved this as a party game when i was an early teen in the early 90s along with my cousins and friends of the same age.
However, i have been able to keep playing this game on a regular basis (a minimum of once or twice per month) as a single player game by trying to see how fast in terms of in-game weeks I could complete a 400-pt game. (28 weeks is my best, see screenshot i sent to DGC twitter)
Keep an eye on the strategy page, i’ll probably post a full FAQ at some point this weekend.
