Actually, upon reflection, La Bat was a game series that intimidated me in the past. Until I actually played it that is.

Not that it was easy to get into. I poured over the rules and made myself some rule reminders. Like study notes. Then after a complete muck up of a first playing I reread/revised my notes and tried again. Finally, the mechanics all came together at that point. I was playing Quatre Bras at the time.

So I suppose the thought of tackling it did hold me back initially.

What I find for any game these days is that I need to be really into the subject to play it. Much more so when playing solitaire. If not, then any solo effort will dry up on the tale. You know ..... set up .... sit for months ..... pack up. And "being into" is code for reading a good book on the subject at the same time.
