How much haggis is too much haggis?

Is, just for example, 2.7kg of MacSween's finest vegetarian haggis too much?

My hand for scale 😋

Excited for this game. Loving the rule set and approach - but - please can we have an example scenario to see what the designers think play looks like. Also because I am too busy (lazy) to write my own 😁.

I have a group waiting to play. Can then do a full play test review on @arkhamattic.com

This gorgeous being is thwaitesia argentiopunctata. Also known as the sequinned spider, mirror spider and is found in Australia. Absolutely beautiful! I am at a loss for words.

No, but his floofy fur is covering the other one.

At least, that is what I'm assuming. I have to pop over again later and will check. It may have fallen out / off with all the moves and such
