We’ll be bothering you with some group ideas on Tit Royale sooner or later, however within the meantime here’s Nic Reuben with extra particulars on what it’s, the way it works and the way it feels.
I’ve performed simply a few a rounds to this point, and knee-jerk response is that, regardless of borrowing just about each trope in tropetown from different royale mainstays, it does really feel like its personal animal.
