This game is an entry in the 2006 Game Chef competition. Thanks to Andy Kitowski for running the competition and to each of the other participants and the judges for making this process such an enjoyable one.

The mechanics for this game are inspired by Vincent Bakers Dogs in the Vineyard and Ben Lehmans Polaris, as well as just about every other indie game Ive read and played over the last two years.

Thanks also to my wife for invaluable copy editing on short notice. I really cannot write this good.

If you have a chance to play this game or have any feedback just from reading it over, please drop me a line at ejbplm ATSIGN hotmail DOT com. Thanks.
