Thanks for taking the time to play! I probably should have made it a bit easier to start, I guess I got too good at the game myself in playtesting!
Yeah, I ran into that bug, too, but wasn't able to completely get rid of it...
:D I had another one in mind to share with, but he is in a trip now. If he has time he will definitively beat your record.
The more games you do, the sharper your mind goes. Do not stop, specially at the begining. Some become (comercially speaking) successful on the 3rd or 5th game. Rare are the cases it is on the 1st one.
