TODO

This is the earliest release of the game.

What I still have to do:

• Understand how to easily print it
• Play it myself, make others play it
• Collect feedback (please create GitHub issues or discussions for any feedback)
• Improve the game: the wording, balance, some mechanics
• Work on branding: logo, card design, etc
• Create tooling to be able to use Table Top Simulator for playtests
• Translate the better version of it into english
• Maybe even publish it officially

All possible income of this game will support my other OpenSource projects!

Inspirations

What this game is like?

I once played https://www.deployordie.com/ game, which motivated me to invent my own game in a similar setting.

Some people say that this game has some similarities to
