Shout-out to Matthew Morris (@squingus_squench), who we worked with to design the original cover art for issue #33 of 52 Pickup.

Playtesting Tales from the Supernova with the Central Ohio Game Designers group at Dragon's Lair.
Very cool lines of play from a new player with maxing out their loyalty and building a ton of ships.
The new win condition worked well although the card itself needs to be clarified. 🎲✂️
