I'll make my point a little more seriously.

£37bn of tax money of many people reading this went during Covid to allegedly corrupt people and organisations.

Not one head has rolled, not one person arrested, not one person doorstepped to answer questions.

Just one puff ball interview with one woman and her husband.

That £37bn has cost British lives, savings, businesses and hope. Still, 4 years later, zero accountability for a monster political story.

Instead, in all seriousness, a senior UK tv journalist has tweeted a story that's so irrelevant that anyone reading it can only draw one conclusion. That "look over there at a shiny bulshit story that'll titilate " replaces serious political journalism surrounding corruption of the state.

You've just tweeted a one liner in Private Eye when you should be looking for the front page of UK state corruption.

[Erik A Sundén is working on his games @erik_a_sunden]

I've been designing board games for a while now, and even got some games published by very good publishers. I thought I could share my process on how I get published (I have no experience with crowdfunding, so I'll leave that to others):

Having not accepted any central funding since their inception, the Wolfpack asked just £18,000 from each Super League club in loans to help them though Covid. I know there were other factors. But they were refused.
