Some heathens may say that @hard-drive.net is parody, but my card game is on this list of ranked card game backs (at #96) and that officially, *finally*, makes it a Real Thing 🥲

I'm not usually a sucker for "big pile of miniatures" Kickstarters but Freedom Five got me good with all the ol' Sentinels of the Multiverse characters.
