Let's Go to France — A Brain-Burning Trip Worth Taking | Kickstarter Preview

Description provided by The Game Bard on YouTube:

🎲 Back it on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alderac/lets-go-to-france-from-aeg You may have been to Japan. But have you been to France? Let's Go to France is a card drafting puzzle where building the perfect week around Paris comes down to not only what activities you pick, but exactly where you put them. Every card you don't want becomes someone else's opportunity. And when you finally flip from planning into actually going on your trip — that activation and payoff is real. You planned it. You score it. 3D Animations by Spencer Barber https://www.youtube.com/@SquamashiiTutorials 🎵 I composed the music in this video.
