Like, serious serious. Like, that's the final boss of the core game, serious. And yes, I'm thinking about what might come later for the game in time. I would like to do a project sometime in 26 or 2027 that just remanufactures ZOETROPE and WHAT WE POSSESS, with HISTORIC getting an expansion. All three of my small-box games in one solid bundle. It may depend on what form Secret Halls takes in late 2026!
Salty Water has turned in the final work. The game's art is done. Even the extra art. Now, it's on me to use this art well. I have a fair amount of layout work to get to, and it's time to get the rulebook written and finalized. This means when we come back around in January, I should have a great deal of awesome stuff to share, including finalized card layouts, previews of the rulebooks, and more.
February will see finalized print files, if all goes to plan, and manufacturing should begin end of February, start of March. Have to plan for that February downtime in China for the new year.
April into May will see games in people's hands.
So stay tuned, stay safe, and have fun with your dearest friends and family through the rest of the year.
