Thanks for the heads-up!  I had to go to two different stores, but the
second one had a single copy left.   The game is actually rather fun.
There is a minor "fix" for it on BoardgameGeek that forbids the first
placement being on any of the center four squares of the board.

I'm definitely interested in learning more 4x4 games.  Any
suggestions?

I'm about to pull the trigger on subscribing to Abstract Magazine.  Is
it worthwhile?  I've never seen an actual copy.  I've really been
getting more and more interested in abstract games, which I find
surprising, given I'm such a Euro-snob!
