Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 in Rails 1.1.0 -- error starting 1856 game

[Jim B. <jim...@ya...>]

I do switch versions w/ different games, but it's quite awkward, and error prone.  More problematic, it causes cascading interdependencies across players- where everyone has to upgrade in step, and run multiple different versions across their different games, etc.  

Surprisingly, in practice the combinatorials get out of hand really quickly- it seems to be causing a lot of problems across players and games, at present.
