The third version of Flak Arcana is now available, there is still plenty to be playtested for future balancing, but the game is now a lot more in depth, be it the core rules or the choices you can make.

Basically everything was updated, but more or less its the same core concepts and gameplay loop. No foundational changes. Mostly for better flow and skill ceiling potential. Units are more impactful, employers more complex and flavorful, and all new optional content to play with.
