I've had the chance to playtest the game during its development and it's a real banger.
Any interesting conclusions for the less germanic among us ?

A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,
imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off
