These rules are well written and very well organized. The mechanics are very straightforward doesn't require a lot of "bookeeping" or "rules-lawyering". The abstractions are just right which makes for a fast and exciting game.

I mentioned that the rules are well organized. How many times have you gotten what you think is a great set of rules only to find out they are not very organized which means you have to jump from section to section and piece it together like a puzzle. Trust me this is a huge distraction which is an immediate turnoff.
