Godtear is a great game that translates itself well to the online tabletop. There are no fiddly measurements to deal with and the board has a place for everything and everything in its place. The online community is growing, welcoming, and pretty great all around. Most EU and NA time zones have someone in the online community, and more games of Godtear are always a good thing.

Thank goodness for Gearbox who, without a hint of sarcasm, handed me the explainer cards that outline the difference between the plot phase and the clash phase. That, I remembered. It would be fine. I stopped playing Godtear for awhile for two reasons. The first is that I got really busy with o
