I think SFB started out as a nice simple game in a ziplock bag and
looked what 
happened to that. Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) is a favourite axiom. 
Trading 
off between complexity & playability is a fine line. IMHO FT & MT are,
at the 
moment, in the right bounds of each constraint, especially as you can
just play 
core FT.

--the FT game is in inches?

Don't ask, it depends how old you are - the current schools teach metric

measurement - oldsters may still think in ft & inches which is probably
what was 
current when Jon was at school, it was when I was - all the road signs
are still 
in miles and milk & beer still comes in imperial pints.
