According to the reviewers comments, it appears to be completely stalled for the last 10 months.
The rule set chosen for this first iteration are completely basic, and unappealing for me. I would much rather play a more rules advanced version, that I presently play at the table separately.
The expanded ruleset and board design lends to much more flavourful opponent conflict, move choices, light strategy, and engaging luck balanced by player equity.
It is hard to know if any of the ALPHA review comments actually make it back to the developer or not, as there is so little traffic in the comments.
ALSO - a new proposed game in ALPHA should have a reviewers forum established for game discussion, rather than simply a comments stream.

This game was developed by a volunteer, and since he hasn't been online for nine months, the project appears to have stalled.
Feel free to get a Studio account and finish the job.
