Lately I've been exploring games like this more and finding them a lot of fun because they use all knds of different word games and don't get bogged down like so many adventure/HO games do now.....this game is no exception...The player won't feel compelled to finish at all costs - it's a relaxing way to spend time and exercise some thinking skills at your leisure - I keep 3 or 4 of these open all the time. This game is an interesting travelogue also...good game package.
