So how did you like Fortune and Glory, Wake?
I thought it was alot of fun.

I liked it, I can see the benefits of playing both the co-op and competitive game. I'd like to try out the competitive version again now that I understand the game better.
I agree that both formats are good. I think the co-op or possibly teams is best with 6 or more players, otherwise it can be a while between your turns. With co-op you are more interested in what other players are doing since you can team up.
We played a competitive game with just 4 players (which became 3 half way through) and it worked well. I got to call down a blizzard onto Alex who was winning and knocked him out. That was fun :-}. He still won though.
