Check out this article! It talks about my feelings on the Trump administration (I don't hold back), and why I decided to take the plunge to full-time design & dev work, even in light of tariffs & the current economy.
Wyrmspan and Apiary designer Connie Vogelmann has taken the plunge into full-time board game design following the huge success of her first two creations - and the destruction she says is being caused by Donald Trump in her former career as a grants law attorney:

Four cards in Flocking Hell use a hack where they skip the game manager and go straight to the campaign.
This led to an exploit where players can cheat out resources by playing the card, saving, then loading the game 😬

Player informed me of a really weird bug where current level directly updates the campaign (= the save file), allowing players to cheat by exiting the game.
Found the offending code ...
# HACK: This REALLY should be managed locally instead of calling campaign.

We're competing with YouTube ... and Netflix ... and other effectively free forms of entertainment.
