Martin Wallace's making A Study In Emerald Board Game

To those who play board games, Wallace's one of the household names. A man whose design in board games is one of the more interesting, and whose board games are often one of the better ones - such as Steam and God's Playground. But also one who has committed his share of blunders (though I do not count Discworld amongst them, unlike some).

So what do you think? The story was one of Gaiman's better, and from what little I've seen, this may feature a similar mechanic to Discworld - which is quite an interesting one in this concept, because it does fit the mood of a concealed struggle, where nobody knows whose objective is whose, and where espionage and provocations are the tools of the trade.

Loved the short story, and I only recently encountered it. I'd be interested in playing the game, at least.

I find Wallace's games underdeveloped, and hit and miss. But this one is on my radar. I suppose I'll have to get off the fence and Kickstart it if I want to see it anytime soon.

I have backed it. It looks cool, I like Lovecraft, my wife's a sucker for Gaiman, and the price is not that high.

I'm now catching up on the novel.
