Thank you to everyone who took the time to playtest, provide feedback, and help shape what is now “Mercenaries of Gridaris.” Thank you to the board game shops in Chicago that allowed me to display posters and host playtesting sessions. Lastly a big thank you to the Kickstarter backers; without your support, this project would not have been possible.
