September 24, 2009: First Review of (English) The Stars Are Right!
BoardGameGeek user Steven D. has written the first review of our edition of The Stars Are Right.
It's an excellent review, and highlights the very important "easy to learn, hard to master" engine behind the games. His comparison to Set (a matching game published in the late 80s) was quite interesting, and may be useful during my demos at BoardGameGeekCon this November.
Oh, and why the qualifier in this post's title? BGG has another, equally good review -- but it's based on the original German release, with a fan translation of the rules. It's a great read, especially if you're looking for the differences between the Pegasus edition and ours.

Warehouse 23 News: e23: Remember Nyambe?
Y'know, Nymabe, that African fantasy setting from Atlas Games that spins familiar genre staples in new and unusual directions (and has a really fun name)? Yeah, that Nymabe! So why haven't you bought a copy yet? It's quite good, y'know. And your players? They'll never see it coming.
