How WotC Fixed White:
The Finisher
It’s been less than 2 weeks since The Blue Prince released, a puzzle adventure game from designer and Magic Mythic Spoiler creator Tonda Ros, and it is doing gangbusters on the indie game scene. MTG is a hotbed of game designers, from Brian Kibler to Justin Gary to all of the folks who’ve worked for WotC over the decades. Well we’re gamers too! So tell me about your game, and why we should play it!
