I was expecting a little more random. We purchased four of these so when we played all of us would be on a similar playing field but when we opened them we released the only "random" cards were the four booster packs and the rest of the cards are all the same. This made our desks very similar except for a few cards.

I am computer literate, but not a geek. I purchased mine directly from Acronis. I have two identical notebook computers running Windows 7 and two identical backup drives. Acronis worked on one computer, but on the other was unable to make a drive image--Acronis called it a snapshot. I contacted tech support, which turned out to be a nightmare--spent several frustrating hours trying to interpret and perform extremely complex instructions before giving up and using another backup program.

Mr. beer is not HIGH quality ingredients compared to all grain hombrewing, but if you want to get somebody into the most basic form of homebrewing this is it. I started with a mr. beer kit and after i finished the 3 refills, i jumped into AG brewing in just 2 months after studying and learning while drinking my mr beer beer. I now do AG 5 gallons at a time every month, have my own hop garden, give gifts of homebrew during holidays, and now do more DIY projects because of homebrewing.
