Mine too! Thank you Thoun and Catchup Games for being open to this conversation and taking a simple action that alleviates the issue without having to compromise what's really important about the game.

I've already played a real-time 2p session and am in a couple 4p turn-based matches. I'm looking forward to diving into After Us!

And just like that, it has been added.
Great to see actions delivered.

The thread brought me in. First time I’d heard of this game.

Is it only coincidence that “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is also coming out?

I liked this game when I first played it in real life a little while ago. I like it so much more after reading this thread because I love supporting people trying to do right after making an error (unintentional or otherwise). The world needs more of this.

Apologies for hijacking this thread.

I was wondering if the participants in this calm discussion had any similar thoughts regarding an upcoming game Kids Express. I started a forum discussion over on BGG at:

TIL: Baboons (6 species), Drills, and Mandrills are not the same thing. Thanks "After Us" for that rabbit hole.

Recently looking at the game art again, is there any comment on the score board showing three chimpanzees demonstrating the "speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil" trope? What is the connotation associated with that?
