What a shame that you guys missed out on JS Joust! Still, having played JSJ a few times I have to say that lemony spoony looks like a startlingly faithful interpretation.
Well I did play it once in NY with Eric & Richard Hofmeier! The folk game of Lemon Joust, if I recall correctly, precedes JS Joust and I think Doug Wilson was unaware of it when he developed the idea. Don’t quote me, but that’s what my memory tells me.
I’m going to get a Linux env sorted out one of these days on my laptop just to play Joust =)
