Janice recently wrote a light-hearted guest blog for We’re Not Wizards about her feelings when she sees photos of people playing Assembly wrong. Ultimately, she comes to the realisation that it doesn’t actually matter as long as they are having fun.
“So, you’ve designed a game, you spent many hours, days, weeks even designing and/or finalising the artwork and writing the rule book, you successfully fund on Kickstarter and your game goes out into the wilds.
