Josh, Thanks for reviewing It's Alive. From the review, however, I'm concerned that you played a few of the rules incorrectly. Of course, if you're happy playing the game as is, don't let me stop you!

One problem was that when you source a part from a graveyard, you don't get it, it simply goes to the middle of the table. From there you can buy, sell, or auction it as usual. So it costs effectively double to source cards from graveyards - once to bring it to the center, and once to buy it.

The second is that when you get hit with a villager you get to go again (and you can't be hit with two on the same turn).

Last, I didn't get if you were playing the basic game, where the fist player to complete the body wins, or the advanced game, where you have to win by the most valuable body. Two interesting ways to play.

Thanks again for the review,
