I'm sending this week's newsletter a little late because I just launched our new Kickstarter and wanted to give you newsletter readers first shot at the limited pledge levels.

This campaign is for Library Game, a rummy-like card game featuring wild, helpful library staff and rule-breaking problem patrons. I've been playtesting it with friends for a while, and it's a lot of fun.

I hope you'll check it out!
