Thematics || Mechanics & Schematics || Economics

PARAPHERNALIA: game curator wrote an article about There Swings A Skull

I'm speechless- a glowing review.

For your perusal- obviously not made by me, therefore a public post, but still, it was extremely nice to see somebody's perspective on this game we made in less than a month.
