I will admit that it took me a few attempts to figure out exactly what to do, but once I got it I had fun. I think there can be a way to streamline the mechanics so you don't have to click GO. I found that part a bit odd. Also, there was quite a bit of downtime while waiting for the orders to populate or finish at the end where I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing. I think there's some balancing that could happen there. Overall, I was impressed!
