The rules are solid and the mechanics all work together. I can see why folks do enjoy it a fair bit. I guess you could say my only objects are to the conceptual design of parts of the game, not to the implementation. For PP's sake and for those in the local community who enjoy the game I do hope it continues to do well. I just would have liked something just a little different. No biggie - there's still plenty of other games out there! :) Sure, like I said I can’t criticize the game as being bad. The rules are solid and the mechanics all work together.

As someone who has bought in and does have a collection I can say I really do enjoy the game. I think the main problem we are suffering from here in St Louis is the fact that we have only one or two MonPoc players who are not also Warmachine/Hordes players. For the most part the initial push mainly picked up those of us who already played PP games and with all that's been going on latly on that from with the release of Metamorph and the MKII announcement very few of us were even thinking about MonPoc. It's a fun game with enough depth to retain my interest... if I wanted a beer and prez game I'd go play Zombies 1 - ?. I enjoy the aspect of balancing the units, smashing the city, and working it to get those back to back monster turns to totally smash face. At this point if MonPoc is to really grow it needs to spread to other comunities and not be relegated to the majority of the players 2nd game. At that point it will have a much better chance to shine. Here in St Louis it's had a harder time to get a foot hold but down in Cape Girardeau Mo they don't seem to be having a hard time supporting multiple tournaments a month and also have what seems to be a good comunity... at least based on what I've seen having their venue listed on my profile at PPEvents and PMing the MonPoc PG down there.

I watched many demos get played but have not played the game myself. Each time I watch one there is something about it that just doesn't grab me. I don't like how the monsters look ('cept for the aliens), the game is to expensive for a beer and pretzels collectible game and it all just seems kind of... I don't know, meh? It just doesn't get me excited. I totally agree with you man. I watched many demos get played but have not played the game myself.
