Hello everyone. 

 Surprise!  

I went back and made lots and lots of changes to the game based on feedback and further playtesting with different groups. If you don’t like the new changes, the old versions of the game are still up.  

The new versions can be downloaded in the files sections and are designated as “Revamps.”  

Consider this update final except for grammar and typos if they are made known to me.  

I’m moving on to a new and exciting project that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while now. Hopefully I can get that out before Summer 2024. Stay tuned.
