But on the off chance I encounter another Innovation fan—an Innovationatic, as it were—I will whip it out faster than Luke draws his lightsaber. We will stumble through the chaos together, trying desperately to keep our cards from spilling off the table and counting each others' icons obsessively.

And Tom is right, this game is best at two players--at even three players, the chaos is more than tripled. Like Tom, I throw the little 3rd edition box into every game bag, even though I know I probably won't play it where I'm going.
