Thank you! Yeah, the four coin design definitely limits the number of novel concepts you can convey. Which was a fun challenge but a lesson for any future games is to give ourselves more design space to expand into.

So pleased you enjoyed it!

Wow, how did you even manage to get that many new concepts 😦

Looking forward to trying them out, the base game was a delight to play!

Yeah, this was meant to be brain. I think my dyslexia is showing. Oh well, it stays!

Yes I did eventually realise that 😅

"Quick rest taken by mole" would be the obvious fix

You're right! You spend so long looking at these things and still don't notice always

Thanks Greg! We'd love to have another crack at it. It felt like we were always breaking new ground when trying to design this which is both exciting but very challenging. Would be great to try again with all the knowledge we gained.

The game is so good! I want a world where the KOTC-alike is as popular as the Roguelike. There are so many cool things to do with this (multiplayer, synchronous, asymmetric, social) kind of game architecture.
