> > Hear hear! The worst case ever for me was at the end of a game when I had a cluster of five squares left--and THREE of them were condors, all of which pushed me to the opposite end of the board. Each time I had to spend minutes retracing a lot of "There is nothing here" squares. Extremely frustrating.

I despise condors the most early on, when I'm trying to develop a strategy and a pattern about my explorations, and keep getting tossed about the board. I mean, once or twice is okay, but... time after time after time...
