June 2021 OR Balance Update

We are always striving to make the most fun game we can. As you might expect this means changes and tweaks to the game are part of the process. We want to thank the people who have been running proxy games and submitting their scoresheets using the Best Coast Pairings app. This is the best way to make sure your results get seen. We also enjoy the folks on our Discord giving us battle reports and talking about games. Without all of you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you for helping us make a better game.

The following changes have been made to the rules pack and we encourage everybody to get in more games, when and how they can, to see how these changes modify your play experience.
