New comic! Breaking news: Local gamer hears ‘12-player real-time’ and spirals into an overambitious planning frenzy. 🗞️🚨

You can read this week's blog post at
www.semicoop.com/comic/fit-to...

#boardgames #fittoprint @alderaceg.bsky.social @peterlmcpherson.bsky.social

Panel 1: A character excitedly explains that Fit to Print has a 12-player "newsroom" real-time mode. Heinze reacts enthusiastically, saying, "Ohhh! I love that!"
Panel 2: Rachel is looking really concerned and says, "Why did you tell him that? Heinze is obsessed with unpractical games, now he's going to be thinking about this all week!" The person who shared the info responds, "It can't be that bad?"
Panel 3: At night, Heinze is wide awake in bed, taking notes. He says, "So if we already have 12 people over… we could also do the 12-player variant of Flamme Rouge... and if everyone brings a laptop… we could run two full starships in Artemis after lunch!" Rachel lies next to him, awake, looking exhausted. Starbuck is also still awake and playfully rolling on the bed end while Apollo is sleeping on Heinze's legs.

This is just a stand-alone game. It has some similar DNA to Cascadia, but is a completely new game. :) We'll share more soon!

Flatout Games @flatoutgames.bsky.social · May 20

We're super excited to announce Cascadia: Alpine Lakes! A brand new stand-alone follow-up to Cascadia! Using dual-hex tiles, Alpine Lakes takes that Cascadia puzzliness you know and love to new heights - layer tiles to create peaks and valleys and populate them with wildlife!
