I think that they are both brilliant guides.

Froggys tells you how the game works and gives you very handy hints, whilst Smackus's guide is more a stratagy to win.

Read together they give a newbie a great start on the in-and-outs of the game. I would recommend to any starting player reading Froggys first to understand the basics and Smackus to get your campaign going.

Both of them put a huge amount of work for those guides and they should both be commended.
