Hi Steve,
I found the game was confussing along with the rest of my table. What our plan was due to time shortage was to spilt up and have people doing different parts of the win wins to maximise our time so a couple of us did achieve in purchasing the 4 properties at different prices and settlement times, then we went back to the table to start working out which property would be best suited to which senario that was required, pending on the info that was bought back by the others. As more confusion set in we then sat back to see what property and what senario where best suited as we started to make some progress the curtains where closed (oh well). Proberly not the best way to go about it but with some out side of the square thinking and more time we could of completed the deals.
The main thing to remember is never give up on your dream as there is more than one way to create that elusive win win.

Regards
Darryl
