No game has ever more successfully integrated the theme of the media it derived from into game mechanics. At times can be brutal or frustrating and at other times can feel a bit long, but I have so many good memories of this game. In particular the mechanics of alliances that can only be made or broken at specific times and heroes that can be traitors are brilliant. Its a war/area control game, but negotiating, information control, and posturing are arguably more important than fighting.
