In March 2022, we met with the main test group, André and Robert, as well as publisher Uli Blennemann, in Wolfsburg for an intense testing weekend, during which we played almost all the scenarios. As a result, we were collectively satisfied with the state of development, but there were still issues with the Progress scenario.

When the game was released by Spielworxx in 2017 and the first edition sold out quite quickly, the interest in expansions seemed apparent. Apart from the expansion "New Cities" published in the advent calendar, nothing more happened initially. Nevertheless, I continued working...
