I love this game. I had a set in high school and got a whole bunch of 
people who had never even heard of Groo so addicted to it that they 
wanted me to show up with my deck and hour before classes so that we 
could play every day. Of course, this led to me sharing my comic books, 
too :D After three issues, they started buying them so that they didn't 
have to wait for me.

At some point I made the mistake of leaving my deck, expansion included, 
on the windowsill and they got ruined by rain. i managed to buy the core 
deck on ebay, but could not find the expansion for a price I could 
afford. A few years ago, my husband's younger sisters gave me the 
expansion as a gift. Best gift ever. I got them hooked. They don't read 
much, and just look at my stack of comic books with the skepticism of a 
cat looking at a bathtub, but they beg me to pull my deck out so we can 
play. They aren't much competition, but my husband plays and gives me a 
challenge.

Lessee... I want Chakkal, the Sage, and the orphanage! Muwahahaha!
