I went to my #LGS to show off #crowns and the verdict was (paraphrasing): "we get a lot of people coming in to demo their games and we rarely see so much potential. it also helps that its a 1on1 game which is a niche with a lot of room left to fill, and the box is so small it fits casual play, and the rules so simple yet carrying enough layers and depth that we could recommend it to just about anyone."
coming from professional #boardgamers, that has me ECSTATIC! 😁
