This has been one of my favorite projects to work on recently. After begging Adam to let me help with this game because I loved the Ashcan so much, I got to test out designing more board game like pieces.

The is a green graphic with a crab with a maryland flag hat on (but a little green). the text says: Hey Affinity User! See That Key? (It is indicating the enter key). Press it to get a menu that will change your life (the image of a move / duplicate menu in affinity). It is signed: "yet another" helpful tip from adam bell. the crab is signed (#brocrabwisdom)
