I did not miss your point you missed mine. Game does not need to be very complex to be exciting. Go is simpler than chess but deep and very beautiful. So is Hex, Emergo, other games. Dragon is too complex for players to make long-range plans and deep combinations. It is chaotic game, serendipitous at best. It is arrogant and self-serving unscientific argument that if you do not appreciate game you did not work hard enough. You can spare us such condescension. It is also arrogant for inventor to claim that own invention is 'many times more exciting than Western or Chinese Chess' which are games that millions have devoted lifetimes to. Do you seriously think same for your game? Small handful at best will ever attempt to play Dragon and even fewer will ever play twice.
