    That one's so bad it's good, I'd say.

    More pawns on the board than a cat would normally permit.

    Furthermore, there is one spelling and one grammatical mistake in the seven words long title. Amazing! (English is not my native tongue. French is. Sorry for my spelling and/or my grammatical mistakes. Fnord)

    Actually, Volume 2 is disappointingly similar to Volume 1. Shame that they wasted such a golden opportunity for another slap-dash design:
