I know it's been quite some time since I posted anything on the blog, but I haven't been playing any Age of Steam, or any board games period. Work has kept me busy, and the Stanley Cup playoffs kept me even busier. Now that Summer is here though, I finally have had the opportunity to do some [...]

Well, sorry for the lack of updates everyone, but I haven't had an opportunity to play Age of Steam since my last post, and I haven't had much time to do design work either, as life at university is keeping me extremely busy. I just wanted to throw out some design rumblings now though, [...]
