The tense confusion reflects my own confusion over the status of the game, I thought it had been cancelled and was therefore "dead" (past). It seems though that there is a 2nd Edition of the game produced by a new company (present). This is really a placeholder entry until someone familiar with the 2nd Edition expands the entry for the new edition and replaces my comments on the older game to a "Changes between 1st and 2nd Edition" section. For the moment I have kept your comments and changed the tense to the past. People familiar with the new edition should take this to be request for them to step in and change the entry. |
