Some deets on Circle of Conflict! Each player gets a dry-erase screen that has the Free Peoples on the left and the Shadow on the right. Each turn two dice are rolled and all players choose one die to use Free and one on Shadow. You can then use the die icons to do various things.

The game is not out yet. All lands will have to wait for… Circle of Conflict! :)
Sure, but did you bring a copy for the land of the LotR?!
Now I understand where the innovation in the game is coming from. Dice rolling with your feet!
Yes! I need an autographed copy at Essen from My Financial Advisor.
Oh, yes. The Feet…. Definitely the Feet… which absolutely appeals to Geoff… .:P :P :P
I concur. I have that great Frodo/Elijah Wood hair… :)
Yes, you literally get to express BOTH sides, albeit against a different player / board in each case. I think you will like this, if your jam is playing both sides… <3
Exciting!
Simultaneous light/dark play was my favorite part of the old Lord of the Rings TCG (Decipher, 2001). I enjoy the challenge of balancing both sides and look forward to trying this!
Well, I cannot say for certainly, but this game may be the PERFECT game for you! <3

Thanks, Pete! <3
Oh cool! I playtested this a while ago and thought it was great! Excited to see how the final product turned out!

Oh Rutgers.... abc7ny.com/post/rutgers... @podfathergaming.bsky.social
You have any idea how much Rutgers would have spent on these promo cards? I would guess maybe a few thousand?
You are the best, Debbie! And that Jeff guy ain’t bad either! 🤣🤣
❤️❤️❤️

One correction for @shutupshow.bsky.social as well as @podfathergaming.bsky.social & @coreythompson.bsky.social of Boardgame Insider, the only copyright enforcement action I'm aware of was the DMCA takedown notice sent to BGG.
I have not received a Cease & Desist or any other direct communication.
Thank you for this repost. I appreciate the clarification.
I *am* an investor and I *am* a member of the Board for the WSBG. Those that know me know that I would never associate with this individual or the likes of him.
He has nothing to do with the WSBG: never held a role - not operational or management, not paid or unpaid.
He has been told he’s not permitted to call himself creator of WSBG; not permitted to use the logo.
Wanted you to hear this from someone who *is* an owner and member of the Board of the WSBG.
