I'm Brown Level and I have never even played Stars. Which is pretty rare, especially since Stars is a lot of people's "goals" to play.
I just thought that the payout was way too long for what you had to "pay in".
But after playing Patrick's Stars Quickgame and coming in 1st, I think it's about time I finally play it!
Of course, the real Stars will be more taxing but I think after I come back from China, I should finally sign up for it.
===========================
Btw thanks to Patrick for hosting such a great game and the players for being really competitive and active. I've played too many group games that lack both active hosts and players.
