thanks- been thinking about adding to my collection and this may do the trick
This is a great idea. I played the game once with the wife and there is a huge learning curve. Having a strategy guide is awesome. You should print this up and sell in once all sections are done. I’ll buy it in a second.
If we can’t get a list of Bob’s top ten romances, can we at least get a list of what he’s currently reading? 🙂
What would be the chance to create a downloadable PDF document?
We’ll put up an updated PDF as soon as the final revised strategy guide goes live tomorrow!
Has a pdf been compiled as yet for Shannon’s strategy guide pages? I’d love to have these on my Kindle for easy reference. I’m a recent owner of the game and expansions as well as the Steam implementation.
Hi Raymond. Torsten Stelling complied a PDF here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p7rcwcgqeqtc1om/AACpMDEAKELmO7WE4Jn3fSa-a?dl=0
