Exile Sun combines some of the most compelling strategic mechanics in a way that delivers a streamlined, integrated and fast paced game of competition and conflict. Simplified deck building, hand management, simultaneous hidden worker placement, a card draft, 6 unique player advantages, and a revolutionary zero-luck combat resolution system ensure that playing Exile Sun is like no other game. Private and public card based objectives give players options for points, but they must choose carefully when allocating their limited resources.

Friends!

First off we'll start off with visual excitement! Eric J. Carter has finished the next space scene, this time for team yellow the "Tolkite Scavengers". You'll see the image attached below.

Things have been moving along quite nicely with regard to the business end of making Exile Sun a reality. Two different game distributors have expressed interest in carrying the product line and we should be able to announce details regarding both the distribution channel and arrangements for pre-orders very shortly.

Most of the game files have been reassessed and polished and we're waiting on just the last few details before transmittal to the manufacturer. With the exception of just one final Colony piece all the art for Exile Sun has been completed, which puts our project far ahead of some that wait until the end of the campaign to begin the graphic design in earnest. So we are seeing good turn-around on the project time table.

We have also been reviewing the rule book for both clarity simplicity and brevity. We have been able to clean up the game terminology quite a bit, as well as streamline the flow of rules explanation by putting the dominant rules in the main text and rules details in side boxes along the way. I must personally thank Sven Tscheppainz for his detailed efforts in this regard, they have definitely paid off! As soon as the final graphics are completed we will look forward to updating the online copy of the Rule book and getting feed back from you.

Lastly, Mr Dalton has begun work with our six "Name Your Colony" backers getting the colony names, characters and events fleshed out. I have already seen some real potential in the ideas submitted and I'm anxious to share them with you as soon as they're approved.

As these and other details work out we will continue to post more updates. It's my personal goal not to let a week go by with out reporting back in about our progress. Thanks again for all your support. We wouldn't be this close without your help!

Enjoy the image and we'll speak again soon.
