The Chance card we posted is actually a work in progress that shows all of the move icons; our final Chance cards will look different, but this gives you a great view of our Move icons!

In Welcome to Drowned Lake, we've replaced dice with Chance cards. Players decide which Chance deck they want to use, and that determines how difficult the game is!
In this mockup, all of the numbers are the same; but of course in the game, each Chance card will have different values.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.
