Rules They Are A Changing

After quite some time spent playtesting and refining, after some very interesting meetings and chats with other designers, after some more playtesting and then finally some additional playtesting too... after all that I present to thee the latest and greatest version of my game!

Game structure is the same, and core mechanics are the same too (with a few exceptions) but so many other things received fixes that I wouldn't know where to begin!!!
Or I could post the changelog... yeah... that too u_u

Enjoy Tha Goodness Ye Freaks!
(I know, I shouldn't get carried away, sue me! :P)
