We have been getting conflicting stories around town. One story is that
Jyhad is due out Any Day Now, while the other states that the release has
been pushed back a month, into September. What is the official word?

Official release date is the 16th. However, the printing presses have
been breaking down a lot, so the initial release is going to be small.
It's entirely possible that your store won't be seeing cards until September.

It's here. It sure isn't Magic.
I'm no longer saying "Avoid Magic. Buy Jyhad." to newbies.
Someone post a review ASAP. I don't mind the game, but it doesn't have
the addictive properties of Magic b/c it's harder to know what cards you
need to build a deck, and the art is "separate but equal" to Magic. If
you like cyberpunk and vampires in three-piece suits, this art is a must-see.
Unlike Magic's colors, Jyhad uses icons, and anyone who uses a Mac wonders,
icons aren't easy to follow. ex. Obfuscation: A black symbol on a black
icon on a black-bordered black background. We also had a difficult time
following the rules, and the rules use everyday words differently from
everyday life (eg. "Bleeding" is an offensive move). The cards, however,
don't have the interaction problems Magic has.
DEFINITELY wait until someone teaches you to play this game before buying it.

As a lark, we decided to do parodies of the Multics environment. We
looked at Multics and designed the new system to be as complex and cryptic
as possible to maximize casual users' frustration levels, calling it Unix
as a parody of the Multics, as well as other more risque allusions.
