Caught this one, the day it came out on Vimeo, or the morning of the day after. I'm sharing it with you now, three days after it's come out, because, the English subtitles are finally up (hit the CC button; there's not much dialogue, but when there is it's in Swedish.)

There's an interview about it here if you're curious about what went into it and where the ideas behind it come from. And if you liked that, you may be interested in Niki's first project Tord and Tord, or her latest project The Burden, which are both talked about a little in the interview. I've helpfully provided the trailer for the latter below (you're welcome.)

Oh gosh. You're not sure whether to laugh or cry, that just breaks your heart...
Alright, so two games from Andrew arrived in the mail today: Contagion, and Somerset. I've read through the rules on both, and though I had questions at first I don't think there are any that linger after a rules reread and components consideration. Except maybe for in Contagion, where, like, it's impossible to kill the zombies, right? And there are only 8 zeeples (zombie meeples?) so that means that there can "only" be 8 zombies on the board, right?
Also I suppose I have a question about Somerset- I'm taking it to the Game Design Workshop on Wednesday for playtest help; are there any number of players specifically that need to be playtested with, like, there aren't many opportunities you've had so far to playtest with 5 people, so you'd like to see how it plays that way, or is it just more of, a tweaks, kind of thing?
Now all I'm expecting in the mail (UPS at least; that counts, right?) is for the, business, stuff, in one or two business weeks.
