My main gripe with Lizards?

The one thing that spoiled a nice, strategic game for me was the random
processing of your orders. case in point;

Group A wants to cross the river.

Group B is standing in front of them and has the ability to build a bridge.

Group A could then cross the bridge.

Unfortunately, because the orders are randomly processed you can't be sure
Group B will build the bridge first, so Group A has the choice of gambling
on the fact that it will be built and trying to move or undertaking
different orders.

Now if it wasn't random and there was a factor that said "all bridges are
built last" then I could live with it but the fact that it *may* work or it
*may not* work spoils things a bit for me.

That fact aside, it is good fun (though I got creamed by an experienced
player when I played it)
