       | Worth noting that the designer, Zack Freedman, has a popular
       | YouTube channel[0] detailing all sorts of projects in witty
       | videos. They are targeted towards a broad audience so aren't
       | excruciatingly technical, but I think they make for good
       | entertainment and inspiration.

         | Big fan of Zack - his videos are informative and enjoyable
         | while not being in the "boring tutorial" zone.

       | I can't find any reference to "open source" on the page. I see
       | "free" in the title of the page but it's clear from context that
       | this is meant as "gratis".
       | 
       | The "free and open source board game" in this posts title is
       | misleading as "free" can be easily misinterpreted as "libre" (as
       | in libre/freedom).
       | 
       | The title should probably be changed for this post.

       | EDIT: Nevermind, the 3d design files for the tiles are available
       | under an MIT license [0] and the "where to get" page at does say
       | "open source" (correctly) [1].
