science of board games

I finally got a copy of War on Terror. It was definitely fun, though a tad long for what you get out of it. We never got an evil player, though half of the players did become terrorists.

Overall, the game felt a bit unpolished: there were definitely some balance issues (surplus of money, lack of money). I think it could do with a nice set of house rules. I might run some simulations to determine some better alternatives in the future.
