Also gonna fiddle with a new prototype as soon as they let me unlock this tray table because why the hell not

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

I’ve been very negligent on the Twitters. Whoops! I’m excited to hop on a plane to PAX and catch up with everyone!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@sciencecomic Oh hello!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@nicolablack @sciencecomic Aw this is great! Working with both of you was the best.

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@Sparklykiss oh that’s awesome! I can certainly empathize with the job hunting right now. And thanks!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@Sparklykiss ha! It was great to (very briefly) see you! I didn’t even know you were in town!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@ObjectivelyCool thanks for playing it!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@ObjectivelyCool Hi! If everything else is tied, the current player who played the card can choose if they want to move the marker or not

So excited to play Bad Detectives by @ForcedOutput. Couldn't wait to open it when I got home today!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@dnlnwmn No worries! Thanks for ordering!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@dnlnwmn Just checked - you were charged the normal amount. It's a display bug and we're looking into it right now.

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

And of course, a huge thank you to @CAH and @coolboxes for making all of this possible!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

Also just released - two new videos to show off the rules and gameplay https://t.co/c6rPuDiXyl - a huge thanks to @GinTonicFilms

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

Bad Detectives is now available for purchase! https://t.co/ZQohHHlsvw

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@Straggler64 definitely!

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@Straggler64 it’s real! We’re just putting the finishing touches on the store and it should be live very soon.

[Zach Barton @ForcedOutput]

@nicolablack it’ll be https://t.co/NIBEW9ZBEd and hopefully live this week!

@toits we flipped a chain of resistors, reduced the board to one card, and blew each other up at Defcon 5 :(
