Stephen was showing off Crude at Gen Con. Great looking game and a TON of cool bits
Stephen made me a customer when he released the remake of Survive last year, after Confusion came out I pondered asking him if I can just start signing over paychecks occasionally to cover the games he is releasing from Stronghold. Fantastic components in great games has become Strongholds hallmark
That gavel looks sweet!
