The game sure seems a lot more heated in this version, with 4 players being denied any build at all!  (I can see it now - scroll down quick - see if it's you!)  Cliff notes version -- it is the Barbarians, Rogues, Ogres and Samurai who come up with nothing to build.  Of course it could be worse, nobody ends on less than 3, despite some losing home centers on the first turn!  Like the Wizards... who find the Hobbits frolicking about in Baldurs Gate, and the rampaged Barbarians who seem to be hit from three sides... On a happier note, 4 players pull off the magical +3 start - the Centaurs, Hobbits, Nomads, and Pirates all inherit early-leader honors!  Many valueable centers go unclaimed this first year!
