Having been dropped off via helicopter at ‘The Bones of Rosalinda’ (C4), Lucian reviews the game then looks around. For the only time in the entire race, there are eight options for unplayed games on the pristine field around him. Assigning ‘1’ to mean ‘north’, 2 to ‘northeast’, etc., he rolls a die…
North it is! To “The Little Match Girl 5: The Hunter’s Vow”
And it’s a second bit of synchronicity: I just competed in Iron ChIF against Ryan Veeder, and hadn’t actually played many of his games before (I think the mouse/pirate/treasure-maxing game was the only one?) I’ve heard of and been amused by the premise of the ‘Little Match Girl’ games for years, so it’s a perfect time to jump in. In the, uh, fourth game in the series? Maybe? Assuming ‘1’ was not Ryan, but the original by good ol’ Hans? I guess I’ll find out!
