Just a quick update that Sampo's design on By Iron And Steam is coming along nicely! I was able to take the PDF and took it to the local Staples. Fifteen minutes later and $15 poorer, I brought my sheets home Saturday and did my cutting and corner-cutting today. The cards look very sharp! I will post pictures later in the week as I playtest more thoroughly. They are simply beautiful though and are attractive enough to actually interest my 11-year-old and 8-year-old into trying the game out which says a lot. I am actually looking forward to illustrating the rules with pictures of the cards!
Anyhow, I think this game will probably go to The Game Crafter for publishing as there are a fair number of cards and its also a way to compensate Sampo for the hard work he does for the community.
More later, however, if you would like to playtest, drop me a line.
