Facebook post 26 July 2022 – by Mike Siggins – Dana Lombardy’s & Rodger MacGowan’s “The Great War Card Game (2p, 4hrs spent) Solid idea, VERY good looking, historically themed card game. No play verdict. Need some serious clarifications as not sure how the game is meant to work functionally/tactically. My guess is it needs a tight rules edit for edge cases.”

Dana replies: "You are correct, Mike. We need more, clearly presented instructions. I am now preparing several short videos that explain how to play the game.  Each video will focus on a different aspect on how it's supposed to work. I  hope to post the first ones in early August and post the entire series of instructional videos by the end of that month."

A great review and a download link for a revised play mat for MacGowan & Lombardy's THE GREAT WAR card game

To the best of our knowledge, all pledge supporters were shipped their copies of the game. Please contact me if you did NOT receive your game yet. [email protected]

Here is a review by Armchair General magazine: bit.ly/3rHCueR

Based on feedback, we made a small fix to the play mat so the name of each deck appears outside each space where you place the deck. Download it here: bit.ly/3wEKm2x

COMING THIS MONTH: I will post a visual list of all of the cards that were published with the game. This should answer the questions about why a few of the cards in the stretch goal lists don't match what was printed with the game.

A new Lombardy Studios Kickstarter is launching on August 1

All games for Australian and New Zealand backers are one step closer to fulfillment! UK and EU are next.

I just shipped almost 40 games to a freight forwarder in the USA that will then send them to Aetherworks in Australia. The games are pre-packed in individual shipping boxes for each backer. I will post an update as soon as Aetherworks tells me when the games will be sent by them to the backers.

I located companies in the UK and Germany (for the EU) and am now packing the games in individual shipping boxes for each backer. Before the end of April I hope to ship the games to these companies so that they can then put these individual shipping boxes into the local post or delivery services like UPS.

I will post updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and support! DANA
