This is Ignacy Trzewiczek, and this is another letter from Poland. This week was pretty tough, so you'll get from me 100% of Slavic Ignacy. Ready? Let's discuss rulebooks.
I am the guy who released First Martians. It was 2017 and I became the industry most renowned 'terrible rulebook guy". It's been almost 10 years ago. Some of you have not been in gaming yet. Trust me, it was a big deal. The Internet was on fire. That rulebook sucked.
I am bringing this epic failure, because these past 2 weeks I spent countless hours working on the final version of the Race to Berlin rulebook. And the question arises - am I still today "the terrible rulebook guy" or maybe I am now "the guy who learned a lot from his mistakes"?
We will see when you get the game in your hands. I dug deep in every paragraph and in every sentence. I spent long hours with designer cross checking, double checking and super checking rules. I know every word, every comma and every dot in this rulebook. I hate this document now with my whole heart.
I'd say it is proof that I did a good job, but of course, it is not.
Race to Berlin is an exceptional project. It is a wargame being published by a regular publisher. Besides the wargaming audience we will reach with this box hundreds of players who never played wargame but will decide to give it a go. You were on a fence for years, you were tempted by historical wargames, but were afraid to try and here we are - Ignacy and Portal Games invite you to try it. They say it is brilliant, easy to grasp and may be your gateway portal for a brand new adventure and chapter in your gaming life.
