Skanderbeg is part negotiation game, part wargame. Think Pandemic, but messy politics, and hard tradeoffs. Easy to play, complex decision space. The 3 player game went great!
Im considering publishing it locally in Kosovo and Albania, and maybe even starting a game design + publishing studio here.

Ready for a 3 player Skanderbeg round. Lets see how this plays!
Players can now ransom captured Ottoman commanders for 💰💰💰.
Resource constrained Skanderbeg utilized this strategy, using the gold to fund his medieval-guerilla resistance.

Tariffs will most likely delay Open Windows.
Putin is our generations biggest asshole and I wish that game would have come out sooner for many reasons.
Part of the revenue would go to Ukrainian demining efforts. They need all the help they can get.

#IdesOfMarch The Plis (pileus) never went out of style in Dardania, modern day Kosovo!
It’s an important cultural artifact among Albanians, passed down from our Illyrian (Albanian word, Ilir, for free-person) ancestors.

First Arcs game. Got crushed after Andrra raided and destroyed my cities. Ransacking the court was a killing blow. Very cool game. Will play more.

Design for “Open Windows” is 95% done and will be sent for development very soon.
Question: should the Putin player have a Novichok mechanic in addition to defenestration? Been thinking of adding it to murder exiles.
