Anticipated release date: June 2012

   

Editor’s Note: This is also referred to as “the art of shilling” since it is our very own, Consim Press, game project. So apologies for the blatant self-promotion of our next release!

I am probably overstating this, but I have always been quite impressed by this and I consider it a singular achievement in game design and a thing of beauty.

Panzer Clash review by Marco Arnaudo [watch @2d6.org] 

  

Intuitive play is something a little different that simple reason. The game makes “sense”. Once you know the rules, it just seems obvious what part of the game happens next. I suppose not having a lot of rules helps with this concept, but I don’t think it guarantees it. This was definitely a design goal.
