$50 is a bit steep but the package is truly well produced and the inclusion of some of Jeff's sketches in a hardbound book that is also a playmate is an intriguing offer.

Got mine in the mail today and although I know it will only make it to the gaming table once or twice throughout its lifetime (it is just a reskin of Pictionary after all), its a grand addition to my gaming collection.

Even for a playtest book I find the under $10 price tag mindblowing...

If so, what are you playing?

I'd love to get some new recommendations, my gamer group is always on the hunt.
