There will be copies of "3 Witches" for sale at PAXU, but not A LOT of them. I don't know whether they'll be released incrementally over the 4 days or all at the start. If you want a copy before they're generally available in December, may plan accordingly.

Unsure I’ll ever get tired of Old Kong’s Crown. Last nights game was absolutely BONKERS and saw one player win by a single point by stealing from every other herald on the last battle.

Hey @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social !
I have a ROME query for A THING (it's always a thing ain't it).
What period would say was typified by generals going bonkers and turning their armies around and marching on Rome to seize power after the latest ruler died?
Any particular reading+notable figures?

What if you didn't have to spin the roulette wheel every time you released a new game, hoping for it to find an audience? What if there was a better way?
