Miles Tost May 3, Aww, I don’t know about GOTY but I’m superproud of what we achieved and I love the game to bits. Serves as visual feedback for whether you used a fast or strong attack.

The cards include several winks for the fans of the previous games and the books, and Tomaszkiewicz feels that its pure “fun factor” compensates for breaking the fourth wall. They focused fully on the fun of the game, even at the cost of breaking immersion and lore a bit.
It has been a long process with different versions of the board and the decks experimented on, but in the end they went with suspension of disbelief because the minigame is supposed to be a light-hearted break from the seriousness of the story.
Tomaszkiewicz explained that there has been fierce discussion on this among the team as well.
