Is the Questing Beast's new game, Knave 2E, all bark and no bite? In this week's design delve, I look at the overall design and drill down into its visuals. And, naturally, I had to do it a certain kind of way. www.explorersdesign.com/exploring-kn... Super Quick 🧵 about today's critique.

The short answer: If Ben Milton reviewed Knave 2E as just some other book—he'd like it. The standouts are the tables and Peter Mullen's art. However, Explorers Design is about the overall design. Specifically, the visual design, which excels in key ways and drags in others.
