@old_lady_katie Absolutely! I've got two:

I'm also still looking for more videos of my tabletop game:

@poxonus On the other hand, I'm disappointed with the official instruction materials:

1) The booklet that comes with the starter "Dorinthea vs Rhinar" isn't the rules, but the (completely ignorable?) lore.

2) They included a paper playmat, which is nice, but why wouldn't they print the turn sequence on it?

3) There are a couple of nice, short, "learn to play" videos and "quick start" rules that lay out the basic ideas ... and then a 100+ page official tournament rules document that reads like tax code. When I sit down to try to play, I'm lost in the VAST gulf in between.

Was this just poorly done, or was it a deliberate decision that the only way to learn this game is by word of mouth?

@tqbf It gave me nothing, but that might be related to the defederation kerfuffle. @freemo @trinsec

@TheSpaceshipper Me: *learning to juggle clubs*

@htdrake: No. NO.

@gamesbymanuel @GreatBigTable We have a list here:

BoardGameArena.com is also a gold mine.

@christian If you like it and get the craving for something more epic, Pandemic Legacy is quite good.

(Specifically, season 1 is very good, season 2 is okay, and the prequel season 0 may be the best.)

@futurebird ... and are there people in the South who pronounce it "cussive"?

@anne_kreft Perhaps you'll find this diagram useful.

@LisaHornung A neat and visually striking idea!

I do have to wonder: why, especially after putting so much thought into graphic design, would someone put white text on a light gray background? It's nearly illegible.
