• Controversy hits the game Puerto Rico yet again, as Jason Perez, who rethemed the game for its “1897” release to remove cultural insensitivity, has now rejected his 1897 version entirely due to how the publisher(s) – including Awaken Realms who teased a new Deluxe Edition recently but immediately got in trouble for using AI art in the teaser artwork – have treated him.
• Castles of Burgundy Special Edition makes £2.1m on its 2nd printing on Gamefound, with 16.5k backers.
