  • Domina's scout mechanic invalidates Carcass's mechanic

Quotes (from this video)
  • this is good old Too Many Bones and that means that it's all the awesome gameplay that you know from playing the base game or Undertow.
  • Figment was a blast and definitely a gear lock that if they sold it individually, I would buy a Figment. Figment is amazing.
  • my biggest complaint, folks, is the tyrant uh designs.
