Revolution! Reviews

Just the other day I was thinking how nice it would be to have my game added to Bruno Faidutti's famed Ideal Game Library. Today, I found it there! He is mainly positive, preferring the "bid refunds" optional rule to moderate the widely perceived run-away leader problem. Once again, I am very glad I argued for the inclusion of this very rule, and I am thankful that SJG listened.

Revolution! also got a positive review from Sam Healey (sometimes co-host of The Dice Tower with Tom Vassel). He mentioned to me that Revolution will be featured on the podcast in an up-coming episode.

  1. Great news. And some positive discussion in response to that review.

    I pushed Tom to play it at Origins. He didn't, but I did play it with Eric Summerer.

  2. Thanks. I think Will from SJG got Tom to play towards the end of the con up in the board game room.

    There sure seem to be a lot of comments about Revolution! being a big deal for SJG's image. We'll see if it keeps up!
