Naturally, we're hoping to get feedback from you. Thanks!

To ease your playtesting, Darren Kilfara has produced a Cyberboard play-by-email kit for this game. To use it, you need the v3 beta version of Cyberboard. The links to both are below:

From Darren Kilfara re: the DS Cyberboard kit:

Anyone who has used the TK2 CB kit will know what's going on with the DS kit. You will need the v3 beta version of CyberBoard to use the kit, but in case you're wondering it's really "beta" in name only, i.e. you shouldn't feel shy about downloading and using it. I've only included two-player scenario files in the kit for the time being (I expect lots of changes and don't want to have to keep updating everything twice!), but it's easy enough to create a three-player file if you want to, and I can give instructions to anyone who needs them. The kit is a combination of TK2 + DS, for when the time comes to play the combined game, but for the moment it's probably best not to get any such delusions of grandeur. Aside from that, if you have any questions or spot any errors, please e-mail me at:
