Well, I'm really hoping the game itself is better than it looks. I don't need FFG, but, I did just assume that at least the minions would look different for each faction (even if they were not the greatest looking of minis).
Like I've written before, I found Puerto Rico to be the ugliest game I've ever seen, but a great game non-the-less.

Seriously, they aren't that bad. Just need to use your imagination a little. More like the minions are secretive types, spread like a disease among the populace... hmm... that sounds familiar for some reason.
Okay, jokes aside, congrats on the production. Look forward to it.
