Sorry, I can't help you with Legends, but I've been playing Monster Island for
about 18 months now, so I can give you my perspective on the pros and cons for
that game.

Pros
^^^^
Simple game, but rich in texture so you don't get bored easily.
Returns are written with humor.
Very big "playing board" so you won't run out of things to do/see.
Lots of players (about 2000), so many opportunities for diplomacy.
You can choose your level of interaction with others.
Inexpensive ($4/turn) and quick turn around (10 days)

Cons
^^^^
Game may be too simple for some.
Some turns are sometimes dull.
Customer service is okay but not top notch.

That's about all I can think of. I enjoy playing Monster Island, obviously, and
plan to continue for at least another year. If you have any other questions,
feel free to email me. You might also want to contact Scott Micheel, who edits
the Internet newsletter on Monster Island. His email address is
