Must be me, but the game doesn't seem as fun as the Demo. Why is that?

One reason why you might have found the demo more fun than the actual game is b/c of the turn limit... (Which I would love to see as an option ;-) The turn limit gave a sense of immediacy to the game that really isn't there in the full version... Well that's my two cents anyone else?

I think that having the demo for so long destroyed the sense of wonder of the new game. I probably played the first 100 turns 20 or 30 times. Now, the first 100 turns of any game can be some pretty dull slogging. I do find that it picks up afterward. Linda, have you played many full games yet?

It might help some to do an accelerated start. That way you skip the annoying time when you only have one city.
