I've never played anything past 2123 so playing this set I have a few observations.
1. Wow the game has really sped up. Multiple finishers and downs on level 2 defense seem to be standard. Not sure If that's a good thing or bad yet.
2. I love the new card mechanics. It really adds to the feeling of variety.
3. How does Sly have Last Call, Crime Lord and REGIME CHANGE on the same card and each move is supposed to be the same move
