Two of us here this weekend had a total of three games in which we had the amulet or were on level 25 or 26. In all cases, we were wasted by purple worms because we backed up over sleeping gas traps that had previously been traversed but had not fired. Of course the purple worm then pummels you into oblivion. It seems to me that sleeping gas traps and traps in general should fire immediately. This eliminates another element of luck in near win situations where the player *deserves* a better shot. Stuart
