I've always liked Reiner's work. My favorite is Texcoco, which was only available on TapTop / PlayTable, for those few who backed and received it. I never miss a chance to bring it up since I worked on the art for a year. One day I;ll post a retrospective.

Why does it take several plays to understand it? I know this is kinda normal, but what do you attribute this learning curve to?

Our coloring table was a bit hit at the Ice Cream Social. I don't know if we'll get any Gibbon Take fans from it, but it was fun.
