If you look at the web preview you can see what I was going for in a PC version of the game. \r\rCheck out the rulebook, and download the printables.

I'll be working on the PC version in my spare time since I'm quite keen to get the engine up and running."},{"author_name":"mess110","author_uid":"12300","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 12:07pm","epoch":1408968120,"text":"yea, should have read the rule book. bookmarked this, will try it over the weekend with some friends if they are game"},{"author_name":"yodamaster","author_uid":"38165","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 12:18pm","epoch":1408968780,"text":"Looks interesting.
