Title: John Company 2nd Edition
Post by: bogh on July 27, 2022, 06:44:28 AM
Anyone else backed this? I am back at work early from holidays, doing nothing at all and decided to watch the unboxing video that Wehrle posted to the Kickstarter page a while back. He goes through all of the thinking and design principles used in the component design, which is really amazing.

Well worth a watch - and I am officially excited about my order!

I think 2nd edition is changed pretty significantly. I assume you only tried the 1st edition?

Backed it the hour it went up on KS. I'm a die-hard of the first edition (having played it probably close to 50 times) and absolutely love the changes that were made in the 2nd ed. My only regret is that it didn't show up in time for the recently-completed WBC this year.

I'll be looking to see if I can organize a play-by-Languish game of it some time after release.  :)
