Does anybody out there in the mac world know how to make the update work for us in a timely fashion?

Use Unarchiver (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12) to unpack the .7z file. 

Go root, via "su" or "sudo bash" or whatever your favorite method is.

Determine what device your SD card is on.  On my Macbook, it was /dev/disk2.  If it is mounted, you can find this easily by typing "mount".  Be sure to unmount it before running dd.  You can unmount via "Disk Utility" or "diskutil unmount ...".

Run "dd if=MedievalMadness2Installer.img of=/dev/disk2".

Take a nap, lunch-break, or walk away for a few hours.  This takes a long time.  Make sure your Mac isn't setup to fall asleep while doing this.

I think you may be able to do the equivalent (after unpacking) with Disk Utility, but I prefer dd.

I am working on simpler instructions with a UI app. DD works fine, but most folks don't use terminal and the risk of getting the disk wrong is too high in my opinion. I will be home tonight and can start working on instructions.
