I may try some of this next time, whenever that is (reading this makes me want to try it ASAP) – I often tend to play the Protestants or Papacy because I’m one of the faster players and I can generally choose, calculate, and roll the conversions in rapid order to keep the game moving.

I do kind of disagree about the issue with edge cases, because I find this game has one of the best (i.e. lowest) ratios of [rules ambiguity]/[game complexity] ever.

Also worth pointing out that the Designer Notes on this game are EXCELLENT. I had a pretty solid education but this game taught me far more last knowledge about this era than any class or textbook did. Fun fact: Beach also was the lead designer for the PC game Civilization VI.
