I don't know about you, but I was very disappointed when Hell Dorado was cancelled. I guess that's because I had more invested in it than most of you.
See, I ran demos at GenCon Indy 2006 (remember when we used to have to specify which GenCon?). The English translation we were using was ... functional.
Since then, I've seen three additional translations - two official, one fan.
And I've got to tell you - honestly - I love this game. I think the setting is completely unique, the system was simple and had some very distinctive elements, and the figures were beautifully sculpted.
Earlier this year, I started hearing about a "Hell Dorado board game." In July, I received a set of rules for review. I did what I usually did and tweaked the language so that it made sense.
That game is Claustrophobia. There is currently (from what I have heard) one English copy in North America, and it will be at BGG.con.
One more reason to wish I was in Texas, I guess.
Not that I plan to move any time soon - I love Seattle too much.
