We did two episodes on this.

We can link to them back in the show notes.

But the refresher is we love games.

It is a super interesting time in the game industry.

And along the way, it opened up this like whole door for us and this project.

And I'm now so excited for this because it's turning into something where we get to report on the retail industry, like all of retail from the inside.

Like, how does a company get into big box stores?

Which shelf space is the most important?

How do you convince the big box retailers to give you that shelf space?

And we now are like getting to be inside this world.

Thank you to the audience for helping us make it better.

We had a prototype that was messy.

You had to print out, cut out pieces of paper, put it on cards, like, do a lot of work to play it.

and hundreds of you did, and boy did you deliver.

It's amazing.

Teachers played it with classes and gave us like economic notes.

We changed the way you win and made it simpler.

We changed the way turns work.

So the design is more sophisticated.

There may be a little less economics for some of you, which is an interesting thing that's evolving.
