Not intending to lecture. Quite frankly, I'd love to see you more on the offense, and a smaller game offers the first player better opportunities as long as he maintains the initiative. I'm just letting you know that since it's your first game, you might think, "Oh, this is a simple, short game." Well, it is simple and short, but not as simple or short as a newbie might think. I think you'll enjoy it. :)
