You may have pocketed a few sets, during your journeys across the Settled Systems.
They’re not hard to find.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Interpretations are as abundant as posts.

It’s out in the wilds now, out of the hands of its creators.
It’s only a matter of time before somebody devises a way to play it.
