Most notably, the concept of not introducing enemies at the beginning of the round: This would force players to stop playing in order to gather this new foe's cards and set them up.
• Promoted Fanboy: Joe Klipfel, who previously worked on a fan-made 18-card game based on this game series called Gloomholdin, got to design a spin-off subtitled "Buttons & Bugs", a more compact game that has 22 scenarios.
