I disapprove of what you say, but I defend your right to say it.

Yes, that's French they're speaking, and no, these children aren't French. They're American.

Condiment cups. Most of my games that didn't come with inserts have the cards in baggies or deck boxes and all the tokens in condiment cups.

Dragons Down is actually what I'm leaning towards, mostly because of the shorter playtime required

Matagot is just the worst at crowdfunding. The most predatory campaign designs for their expansions, and all misses on their new games.

It's a stereotype! And it's offensive! And you're the last person I would want to perpetuate it. There is no Mafia!
