As a writer, game designer, and lover of Vonnegut, this made me cry to hear this is being made. Will pick up a copy the moment I come across that beautiful box art in the wild. Thank you!
Very inspiring story. My father created a board game in 1956 which we played as kids. He worked tirelessly, typing the rules(single spaced and 67 pages) it was a paper board, colored in with markers, he used toothpicks topped with fake grapes dismantled from my mothers coffee table center piece. He submitted it to Parker Brothers who rejected it saying “they have discovered that the American People were not interested in war games” - the game was way ahead of its time , featuring nuclear space stations, resource control certificates, resource territories, Peace , Justice, sanctions, awards and penalties- 2-8 players.
I would love your input, as I’ve recently recreated, and self published the game - Waging Peace

Thank you sharing the history of the project. Very, very impressive.
What an amazing iniziative. Well done! I'm very curious to try the game now
Wow! Great story!
This is fantastic!
Splendid. What an adventure!
Proof of unseen hands or energy pushing this to completion!
I was pleased and entirely unsurprised to see you named in the Times article on the game. Well done!
This is such a great tale, and I’m glad that it was you who discovered it. I’m buying it for those notes alone, I just hope it makes its way to the UK
