Endgame Syria

[spelk]

Don't know whether anyone has clocked this recently, but its a decision based game about the current conflict in Syria.

Tom Chick has something to say about it over at Quarter to Three

Interesting.  I will download just for curiosity's sake.

I wonder if DicedT has seen this yet...

Wait, what the heck?

"Think WW1 XCom except against Deep Ones instead of aliens."

WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS GAME?! -- did it just completely suck or something, suffering the Xcom curse?


Note: not a description of "Endgame Syria", unfortunately, but by the same designer, and mentioned by Tom.

Thanks I. It's good to hear that someone at RPS has touched the trenches with his finger.
