It was extremely fun! I would totally purchase it IF IT ACTUALLY EXISTED IN OUR UNIVERSE.

@cmyk.games What is this Eldritch object we found in the PAX unplugged library? A simple, super fun Reiner Knizia push-your-luck game. But I can find no evidence that it actually exists online. Did we stumble upon a board game cryptid?
