This game is absolutely, unbelievably incredible.

A lot of the various chess variants seem too esoteric to pay much
attention to, but Navia Dratp at least has a nationwide marketing push
and
relatively wide store availablity.  With a little grassroots effort, you
could pretty easily expect to be able to walk into a game store on a
weekend and find a game.

But here's the important part - the game is GOOD.  The game is easy to
learn but the strategy is intense and very deep.  Unlike most collectible
games, the luck factor only factors in when you purchase boosters; the
gameplay itself is completely strategic.  New players will find
themselves
at a significant disadvantage until they learn the mechanics and piece
interaction.

I don't particularly care for chess, but I am absolutely in love with
Navia Dratp.  Everyone here needs to go out and get it, no exceptions. 
Don't let this one slip by.
