Hey, thank you for playing Anyaaaa! I appreciate your thoughtful review, and am glad you enjoyed the front you played.
I think you accurately captured my design intent: a quicker, more narrative, and easy to learn game. If you want the nuance or granularity of FitD-style position and effect, this will probably fall short.
But you 100% nailed my intended tone of "telling a bleak story of struggling to defend your home."
Thanks for sharing!
