Subject: Chevee's News - More Reviews and a New Design!

Hey everyone!
This week brings a flurry of awesome reviews for Scallywags and a new design project!

Project: Hexploration -
I've begun working on a new project. Hexploration was born out of a desire to develop an actual board game. Almost all of my games to this point have been card games and none of them have been particularly complex. I'm attempting to break the mold with this design and work on a board game that is simple, yet deep and complex at the same time.

Fathergeek's Review -
Cyrus Kirby of FatherGeek.com wrote an amazing review of Scallywags. If you were ever going to support me with sharing these reviews with your friends and networks of social media contacts, this would be the one to share! Not only is it a glowing review, but Cyrus really puts in the extra effort to elaborate on the design and game play. I am humbled by his kind words.

Games and Grub Review-
I got to meet the crew of Games and Grub (Eric and his wife) at Origins. It was a really great day and Eric expressed interest in reviewing the game. I personally sent him a copy and he has some nice things to say. I wanted Eric's review because he is not afraid of being brutally honest. Thankfully, he doesn't have many bad things to say at all!

play-board-games.com and BSCKids -
I had never heard of either of these sites before the reviews showed up in my Google Alerts feed, but they both have some great things to say about Scallywags!
