When you click "More information" it says that the Hostile Takeover assets are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution v4.0 International license. Since they seem to be licensed under a Creative Commons license that allows file sharing would there be any issue if I uploaded the files to sites like BoardGameGeek and/or the piecepack wiki so more people could play your game (and you may accumulate more playtests and reviews)? In particular it seems like it may be a good match for people who have made themselves a set of piecepack matchsticks. Its a shame its too late for you to enter it into the piecepack matchstick portion of the ninth community piecepack game design competition... Thanks!
It's perfectly fine as long as credit remains on the files. I license my stuff this way on purpose because I believe things are made to be shared and remixed, not held onto for what monetary value they may have (I have huge issues with copyright and trademark law as they currently are in the US)
Thanks, that's great! I just wanted to double check that you were okay with me sharing them and that the CC BY 4.0 license was still in effect because as far as I can see this license isn't mentioned in any of the files themselves and you aren't allowing free downloads on itch.io. On the piecepack wiki it looks like I'll need to create new LanguageArabicCategory and LanguageGeorgianCategory tags!
Wait, I didn't put it in the man--of course i didn't. I made sure to label each physical copy with a sticker on the inside of the box and forgot to label the manual.
It's 3-4 players and is about 30-45 minutes for a game. The fastest game I've seen was 20 minutes but that was by experienced players. Thank you for your question as well, I have now added that information to the game description at the bottom.

If anyone is interested, I made a little unboxing video showing what the physical game comes with.
How many players does this game support? What is the average game time?
