That's not a function of the game, but the community in question.

Yes, a surprising number of comments in this thread are not about what you find when you open a box containing the XWM game, but who you have in front of you when you start playing. In my book, the latter is not actually part of the game itself, but obviously many disagree and I suppose it's just a matter of different definitions. Some even extend the term 'game' to how members behave on this forum ('Nerf threads are unfun')!

Mine is lack of motivation to go out after work to play (usually to tired to do so). Also I've been burned by so call people (looking back cant even call them friends {M:TG and AD&D days in college }) so I am very wary anymore.
