Of course Tom Vasel is our forever favourite now as he gave it the highest score ;)

Perfect! Thanks so much, Liz! This is exactly what I was after.
Though I might just admire the game from afar and do some supplementary reading instead ; )

Hey Joe,
No, no. No need to apologise - no offence taken!

And yes, I agree. I think that gap exists and to be honest it's something I don't mind - I like my fiction swirling and with intermittent moments of clarity (a bit like the weather in Scotland).

I think on a card like Lethe...

Hello Joe! Here’s some quick notes, taken from a couple of other replies, discussing theme & storytelling in the game.
It’s a patchwork response as a result, which is perhaps most fitting for the intention of the game : )

All this is to say… we love their games, their ethos and their vibes. If you haven’t checked out Molly House and John Company - you should definitely give them a Wehrle x

Wow! We were absolutely floored by this deep and rich review from Alex over at Wargamer. It’s so lovely to see someone deeply enamoured by the big strange box we’ve spent years putting together. If you have a few minutes, it’s definitely worth your time to read.

However, regrettably, we were forced to call the police. Tom is in a cell as we speak, and we shall be seeking the strongest jail terms possible.

DO CARD CRIMES, DO HARD TIME.

If you haven’t seen it already, we can’t recommend it enough. Needless to say, lots of big smiles and a couple o’tears at ol’ Eerie Idols HQ last night… after all, it’s just a wee guy.

It was a fantastic experience to share the stage with designers Shei and Isra, also known as Llama Dice, as well as David from publisher Devir! Thanks too to the panel’s excellent moderator, Chema, who made everyone feel wonderfully at home.

We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended the panel we were invited to speak on yesterday, as part of San Diego Comic Con Málaga!

It’s day 2 of San Diego Comic Con Málaga!

Pablo will be taking to the stage with folk from @devirgames.bsky.social , @llamadice.bsky.social & others, to talk about “Designing the perfect game”.

It’s a fully booked with 600 folks set to be there! Best of luck to Pablo, it’s going to be a cracker!

Here's an example of how the art is *trying* to say something (haha, I'll leave it up to others to decide whether it's successful).

This card is a [WAR MACHINE]. Powerful cards that can be deployed to the board.

For the other factions in the game these cards are focused on military and scale...

It was amazing to spend time chatting and running demos over the 3 days. Lovely to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones! We’ll see you all next time!

Big hugs x

We are so excited to be a part of this smorgasbord of gaming gullet-fillers. The Old King’s Crown opens up the show and is in some incredible company (we have Brink & the Ahoy Expansion sizzling in the office pan, ready to eat).

Cheers! Aye, we've been BUSY working away on some New Things TM
