Whenever I play this game, one of two things happens:
1. I get a ridiculously bad draw and am stuck in a losing situation from the very beginning that only goes downhill.
2. I get a ridiculously amazing draw that only goes uphill, but my opponent eventually concedes. Earlier tonight I had an opponent concede literally as I was about to make my winning move. That really irked me. I then had the same guy concede against me twice in a row when I was doing very well.
The conceding is a seriously flawed concept and there should be more punishment for doing so other than "you lose," because in Novice that means nothing. There should also be more levels than just "Novice" and "Expert," because Novice can basically be anything from literally never played before to extremely good but not ready to take any real risks yet. I know the game is still in Beta, but I hope they really jack these things up.
