    Editor’s Note mastered. We feel that this variant (not authorized by the authors of
    As regular readers of this magazine already know, we think pretty SOTN) will help to considerably alleviate this barrier to freely enjoying
    highly of SOURCE OF THE NILE. If the game has a drawback, it is in an excellent game. It should prove invaluable to the beginner, and still
    the very complex turn sequence. This is one of the most difficult be of use to the veteran explorer as a ready reference.
    obstacles for the beginner to overcome in grasping the flow of play. It is Our congratulations to Dave Weseley and Ross Maker, authors, and
    also one of the factors that delays the flow of the game until it is Discovery Games, publisher, for the awards they so richly deserved.
