Normalize going to FedEx and spending over half an hour printing and cutting tabletop games
Brute Fort rocks, and is brutally tough at times

Oh yeah, this guy's completely devious! Warlux Pearl was the first card I designed so will always have a place in my heart

5 star itch.io.comment from WanderingEchidna: "Surprisingly content rich and heady gameplay in a svelte package. For having so few cards, many play patterns emerge, resulting in tense and close games as well as the occasional empowering engine to make you feel clever."
