GENEVA, 1920.
The League of Nations convenes for the first time. Proud to be the host for this august world body, Switzerland invites their champion axe-juggling troupe, Les Bella Lieben Jolie De Von Giorno, to entertain the assembled delegates.
Unfortunately, halfway through the demonstration, the Troupe goes insane, and begins hurling axes into the audience, splitting head after head. The Secretary General calls for calm, but before he can order a recess, his cranium is split as well.
The remaining Great Powers use the confusion to pass the gavel between themselves, conduct international business amidst the chaos, and generally try to shift the balance of world power while escaping a bunch of armed psychopaths.

Messages from the designers:
Expected release date is now for GenCon 2009. The game is in production in China, and should arrive in Indianapolis in time for Bucephalus Games to get it into people's hands.
Anyone going to Dexcon next week will be able to play with a mocked-up set of the final release cards... and be able to alpha demo all-new cards and Great Powers for a possible expansion set.
Cheers & thanks to all our fans, playtesters and translators!

We're proud to announce that Bucephalus Games has licensed "Oh My God! There's An Axe In My Head." The Game of International Diplomacy and production development is underway!
A big "THANK YOU!" to all of our players at Origins, and every convention we bring the game to! Looking forward to playing with you again, with a production version next time!
