Spreading the Word

I spend a lot of time online, using chat rooms and such to meet people. I like to talk to people, and of course the question of, "What do you like to do for fun?" always comes up. I tend to almost immediately tell the person I'm talking to all about Dogfight: Starship Edition. I've got a friend in Australia who now wants to buy the game, which is awesome.

My husband, Zack, is also spreading the game. He is currently deployed in Afghanistan and he took a copy of the game with him. He has taught numerous people how to play, and a few plan to purchase the game when they return from the deployment.

What we are doing, talking up the game, we do it because we love to. We believe in this game and want it to succeed. This is because it is an amazing game created by a great guy who has worked very hard on this game for many years.

In conclusion I basically just want to say, if you like this game, or even just the idea of it, spread the word about Dogfight: Starship Edition to other people you know who might also enjoy it!

I realize that a lot of these cards are still in beta, but this is my current test deck and pretty much the only deck I play on a regular basis. It doesn't lose often, and as you can see it's sort of a Swiss Army deck, as much as it can be.
