Seen in the wild! There are so many cards. The box is gorgeous. I can’t wait to carve out some time to play this weekend.

Details please. At a game store?
https://www.theminttinguys.com . They have a distribution deal with Grey Gnome games and some other tin game companies. Free shipping and often have discounts. I find the quality is same as gamecrafter and I usually get the game way faster without a ton of extra fees. Problem is they have pretty limited stock of games (I got one of the last copies of this).

After a tip off from the man himself I have just played through my first adventure of Wyrd (from the designer of Rune, which I really enjoyed).
The rulebook was easy enough to get to grips with, but the game is sort of abstracted, so it’s way easier to learn by doing, and just try to catch any errors that show up, not sweating it if you don’t.
As with Rune, I fancied using some minis rather than tokens to liven up a potentially dry experience, so roughed up a flagstone hex map, found some bits for terrain, grabbed Krunn and Ser Quentin and jumped in. I fought through ghouls, goblins, vampires and finally a boss; the dice chucking doesn’t determine your success but rather your options, and then the game is puzzling out how to use your options to maximise your success.
The theme is fairly pasted on but I don’t see that as a bad thing. The game would work fine with basically any setting, but the great art work throughout helps keep my mind in the grubby streets.
My only ‘criticism’ is that it is a crime such a zineable product has a page count not divisable by 4, this seems like a wild oversight.
The game recommended starting with a 4+1 round adventure (of which I was able to skip a round, though retrospectively I would have liked the XP), which took about an hour. I am looking forward to diving back in for my next, longer adventure!
