Unpub Preview: Cutthroat Couriers
BludleOne of our upcoming events is Protospiel-Milwaukee (and Mid-West Unpub.) This is not an event I will be able to attend, and it is being managed by James Mathes of Minion Games. Games coming to Protospiel-Milwaukee register through a different entity, and by doing so don’t get a page here on Unpub.net. This is our first time with this type of partnership and we’re testing these policies out. One way we can support the games and designers coming to this event is through these previews. So, today we continue our series of previews of games coming to Protospiel- Milwaukee.
Jeff Woosley will be exhibiting his hand management game Cutthroat Couriers. Now, those of you who know me are aware of my love of alliteration. It almost always signals fun and so far, I don't see this game being an exception to that.
