For anyone interested, the pre-alpha of digital #Crowns is now playable! With both multiplayer matchmaking and playing vs CPU. Much easier to try and learn the mechanics that way!

Note: It's experiencing several updates a day (and bugs) while we're adding new functions and features, so sometimes it might not work for a few minutes or an hour or so.

“Well Made” is ready for print proof. “How Does It End?” is ready for playtesting. And little “Up or Down”, the first of the three, is three sides of paper and a key illustration. Tomorrow is another day.
