This was a fun game! Not too taxing (even though a combo of computer and physical issues have caused some tardiness on my part). I like the shortness of the clues, but still having to know multiple things, which suits my scattershot knowledge base. I thought that the year thing would be really hard, but there was generally at least one clue that made the exact year relatively easy (even though my dumb ass managed to fudge that up at least once by not reading through every clue before coming to a conclusion) Did you plan it that way?

It would make it easier if the questions followed the statement to avoid having to scroll back and forth. Yes, old people like me have already forgotten what statement number was what in a period of minutes. Ha!

The best part was that it was a combination of several games, DorA, Decades, History, Sports, Entertainment, etc. I could stand a little less baseball and a little more basketball, though....
