Just looked up my King’s Dilemma order from 2020, it was indeed £60! Doesn’t strike me as being wildly different in scope but I suppose I haven’t looked into it. The components look a bit fancier? Unrelated but the Zatu Games redesigned website is wildly slow. Enough to stop me from thinking about browsing at all… ---

Huh, I’m actually keen on this. Silly high chaos brawler, but might be perfect for a 4-5 player pub game.

Richard Garfield’s continual hatred of MTG is a constant source of pleasure to me. “No, really, seriously, THIS TIME, guys, THIS TIME I have fixed MTG. Please buy it and stop buying MTG. Seriously. Please.” ---

An Infamous Traffic Design Diary - [Designer Diary 1 - What’s all this, then? | BoardGameGeek](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3741845/designer-diary-1-whats-all-this-then) This and Pax Pamir are imo his best. > Amabel Holland had asked me to design a game for her new company and I was intrigued by the challenge of work under a pretty strict set of production restrictions. Because her company’s games are built on a print-on-demand model, you have to stick to the things they have the capacity to do. That means I had to work within the limits of a sheet of laser-cut counters, a paper map, some rules, and some dice and cubes. Even the cubes felt like they were pushing it a bit. I’d argue that he made a great game because of these limitations. Designers have a tendency of overcooking their own games. ---
