Why we are Excited

We enjoy programming games where you really have to plan ahead and think about what moves you are going to make while considering the other players moves. The concept of The Primary is not new however, the game theme is completely new. An example — the addition of news adds variety to game. It adds things that can’t necessarily be planned for. It looks clean and well thought out. Check it out on Kickstarter!
