Abyss board game review
Abyss was published in 2014 by Bombyx and immediately got a lot a buzz in the board game realms. Some of the buzz was about the game play. But most of the buzz was about the evocative artwork.
After taking a closer look, I added it to my ‘want to play’ list and anxiously awaited a chance to play it.
