My 'excellent' applies mostly to the presentation of this game. The illustrations, the writing, the very high intellectual look... all top rate. Unfortunately I presently do not understand enough about the game to comment on its specifics or on its playability. At first glance I thought that it was a work of sarcasm. And maybe it is... I just can't be sure. With a person's name like Salmon Chase I even thought perhaps we were being taken on a wild fish chase (up stream no less). But Salmon Portland Chase actually did exist. So, I find this work very intriging. Enough so that I imagine if Douglas Adams were still alive he may have been tempted to write, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to Salmon P. Chess.'
