The enemy group doesn’t have enough ranged weapons. This is understandable given how hard it must be to source working rifles after a nuclear apocalypse. And it’s great news for my party, which I kept well-stocked with ammunition. I use a choke point to limit their movement options, we trade fire for a few turns, and, even if Ella and Mad are a little...

Being a fan of this kind of game I couldn’t wait to try it. But after I have finished it I am still wondering where is the game that I expected.   There are short games out there....
