I had the honor of playtesting some of Connie's upcoming designs. I can't wait to have these games on my shelf!! She's a genius designer with incredible work ethics, and one of the kindest people in this hobby π

Four cards in Flocking Hell use a hack where they skip the game manager and go straight to the campaign.
This led to an exploit where players can cheat out resources by playing the card, saving, then loading the game π¬

Player informed me of a really weird bug where current level directly updates the campaign (= the save file), allowing players to cheat by exiting the game.
Found the offending code ...
