Negative reviews of my games on BGG? I let those go.

What really live rent free in my head are the baffling comments that don't seem to refer to my game at all.

I have now seen Night Soil described as a bag builder, a hand manager, and a wargame.

It has no bag, no hand, and no combat

#Crownfell is an asymmetric, abstract, 2-player strategy card game that is live on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social!

No stretch goals, except for this: The more people get it, the lower the price goes *for everyone*.

Add-ons include a playmat & solo expansion.
