I did not play List. I played Chinito and it was not a very interesting
experience (*). If it were not for Thomas Mayer debugging Arena in the middle
of the game, Chinito would have lost the game on time even. I didn't like
this mess at all.

It wasn't known in both cases that the authors would not be present (at
least not to me).

(*) Part where Miss Eva Moser was operating not included, of course.
