¿Question #1472?
Blackwind: Have you ever played a game solitaire and honestly tried to win with both sides?

Fribian: I have but I still think in the back of my mind somewhere I tend to favor one side over the other and it may be based entirely on the color of meeple used, or even whether I liked that side of the table as much as the other side of the table. Could be a stubbed my toe over there on one side once, so... "YOU'RE NOT WINNING THIS ONE! "
Hms_indefatigable: No
pricero1: I used to do this a lot as a kid, and games always ended up in stalemate.
Obi Wann: yes, quite often. I find it to be rather enjoying and can become a good way to trail strategies and tactics. I also know that I can be as mean and nasty as i can without the risk of pissong off another gamer.
Woelf: Sure, all the time. It's a good way to go over the rules of a game and get everything figured out so stuff is less likely to get screwed up when actually playing it with other people.
