I finally got around to prototyping the tiled version of Order of the Wand this weekend to find out I didn’t have enough cardboard for all 76 tiles. Picking up the cardboard today, should have it ready to test by mid-week at latest. I will make sure there is plenty of extra cardboard as I have a feeling the 3-1/2 inch tiles are a wee bit big but I’ll leave making a 3 inch set until I have done a few rounds of testing.
Must remember to take pictures this time!

I finally got it tested. The new spells that came into play worked fairly good but the cost on several of them are off. My fear that the tiles were too big have been abated.
All it needs now is A little bit of balancing and rewriting of the rules so procedures are clear and then i'm off to pitch it to publishers.
and I forgot to take pictures again.
Massive!
3 1/2 inch tiles are massive!
Square tiles or hex? I am assuming square by the sounds of it.
Is there a reason they need to be that big?

The 3-1/2" tiles do take up a big bit of the table. For that reason alone I'm going down to 3" but smaller than that is too small to get all the necessary text and icons.
