    • “The other great part about this game is the story.”
    • “I think that anyone who purchases this game should read all the note cards because it really has a great story.”
    • “The story is plain: 'One guy is bad because he is rich and he can be like this because the other is poor?' Every character is not happy, so they drink.”
