4. Interview with Niels, creator of the game Rifugio
…who gave us the idea of cutting the other’s beard, since the size of our beards dictates who gets to wear the dress at events…
Rifugio is a fun 2-4 player game that is a fun strategic hike through the Italian alps. Self published by Niels himself, already sold over 2000 copies, and available now at www.rifugio.nl
Until then, keep questing you fine BaRPiGs
