Nice!

When you get to play an additional fish, it doesn’t cost you a diver (but you do have to pay the fish’s cost). It’s always one diver per turn, no matter what you end up doing on a given turn.

You can only put an egg on a fish that doesn’t already have one.

All benefits are optional in the game - in whole or in part. They are all “may.”

You only get the dive site bonus at the bottom of a given dive site the first time you dive there each week. But you can dive in the same dive site multiple times in a given week.

Yes. A fish with a young or a school can still hold 1 (and only 1) egg.

Ah, yes. You get 6 divers each week. (Each represents a “day” of work.) Each turn, you use 1 diver to either play a fish or dive, leaving the diver on the mat.

What assumptions did you have to make? We tried to make sure the ruleset was complete.

True. I’ve just become so sensitive to everything always trying to market to me, hoping I will fall in love with…whatever. At this point, most campaigns kind of lose me before I can feel much of anything.

It is a rough time for finding professional work, for sure. I have people from my last couple jobs who have bought the game. Still feels weird.

Thanks! I'm trying to get used to having a normal job again.

Even destroying the Whitehouse feels like marketing at this point.

Wrap it carefully in cloth.

The part that is strangest (to me) is how any kind of business success in this industry feels stratospheric - but only when you are in the industry. I only know a few people who have had actual financial success in board games as it's understood in the normal business world, and I live in Seattle.

There was one guy on the call (of probably around 60 people) who everyone was asking, "Hey, you like board games, Kenan... What's that one you like to play?" And before he answered, I knew he was gonna say Catan. The whole thing felt scripted.

Everything is marketing. All the time.

I have generalized anxiety, and you were not intimidating (to me).
