Great overview on all aspects of the game. I’m very much looking forward to getting my copy (which I got for a great price) even if it means I have beautiful components to “play” with alongside my two young kiddos for now. Looking forward to diving into the world and finding a time and place to introduce it to some of my BG friends and hopefully table it enough to start to internalize the systems to really get to the contest at hand.

@Tabletop Games Blog No biggie, even though it didn't make much of a difference in either game 😅... maybe save the wiring for a bit later? I realize it saves you from it on the back end, but there are too many immediate risks that would've been mitigated, I think 🤔
