Comment on Let the wookiee win by Cliff

I’ve played a number of games with my nieces & nephew. I don’t think they particularly care if they win, they just want to have fun.

Also, kids WILL gang up to destroy you in the game. Victory conditions go by the wayside and are replaced with “Purge the adult!” So go for the throat.

I really like Sean’s abstraction to the weapons as well. I am not a gun nut, but I can point a player who is a gun nut to the table and he can find what he’s looking for and name it whatever he wants. Even name it Vera.

I absolutely get what you mean now, for sure! Having no detailed knowledge of the creators (save Staples on North 40) at the time, I was obviously missing that pedigree knowledge (which, is of course, why I listen to you).

And now that Saga is out, I finally realized that Vaughn was the force behind Y and Ex Machina. Obviously, I failed hard on my investigation and/or reading comprehension rolls. I (for the most part) really enjoyed what I’ve read for both of those titles.

But, you’re 100% right. A ton of work and care was put into this book and it shows. I’m also needing to not judge books by their previews.

Fair enough. The preview was merely decent – they had to cut around quite a bit of stuff to comply with what can be shown in Previews. I was pushing more on the pedigree of the creators, plus the design and the lettering and etc. Looked like a LOT of care was taken with that book, and DAMN, it shows.

Anyway, glad you liked it!
