10 years ago we were tobogganing in snow storms between Christmas and New Year’s.
It’s 10°C and raining.

So fucking depressing.

Mini-rant time.
It bugs me when I see people post comments like this on BGG:
Playtesting is a very challenging thing for publishers. It is HARD to get people to playtest, believe it or not.

Hi Blueskiers,
I am doing some writing for an upcoming children's game, and I would like some advice from a Japanese person regarding kami.
If you, or someone you know, can give me a moment of their time, I would greatly appreciate it! 😊
