...continues to satisfy. Even after several years, the original remains the best. I have the 5/6 player expansion and the gameplay is good, but the original version, played with exactly four people provides the most consistently fun and even gameplay of any game I have ever played. I like the fact that we can complete a game in an hour or so, but my favorite "feature" is that the games are almost always extremely close, so everyone feels like they have a chance to win.
My kids are aged 18 and 15. Five years ago we switched from Windows to Linux. My kids were not harmed in the process. A few points to consider:
Prior to switching the OS, we had already made the decision to no longer use the PC for games. We got tired of constantly needing to upgrade our hardware. Except for games like solitaire, mahjongg, etc., we began doing all of our gaming on consoles.
We have been using StarOffice (and now OpenOffice) and have had no problems with compatibility with the school's software.
My kids now appreciate not having to experience frequent lock-ups and reboots
My kids no longer fear viruses
My kids report that an increasing number of their classmates are now also using Linux and in some quarters it's considered "cool"
