Rulebook 1.1: in 1776

1776

I have been trying to play a war strategy game with my dad for a while now. Part of it is because he likes them (a long time SPI and Avalon Hill devotee) but also because I wanted to to do more research for my American Revolution game.

Crystal Heroes: More playtesting of the NEW Tactical Layer

Mon, 12/27/2021 - 09:09 — questccg

Over the holidays, I have been playtesting the NEW and improved Tactical Layer. It features the use of Pawns (one per player) and moving around the Grid that is made from the Game Tiles in play. What makes this new Tactical Layer "work" is a Lord/Lady Resource Sequence that must be collected. This sequence is unique to each Lord/Lady and obviously means that NINE (9) Resources need to be collected to win the game.

Some early conclusions to report:

1. My first game with this new Tactical Layer was won in the 9th Round of play.

Uncertain Shades

A while back, I had posed a question about using different shades of card backs to indicate risk for a game. seen on this thread: https://www.bgdf.com/forum/game-creation/mechanics/color-gradient-cards

I've actually followed through with testing and refining it, and am so excited to say it is both the simplest and most fun game I think I have made yet.

The setup is easy: give a starting hand of three specific cards to each player, and shuffle the remaining of the 104 card deck in the center.

Crystal Heroes: a Peek into the Future!

Tue, 12/14/2021 - 00:16 — questccg

If you ever wanted a "Crystal Ball" to look into the FUTURE... Look no further! This is a preview of one of the nine (9) Houses (and Booster Packs) for "Crystal Heroes" (CH). I didn't want to reveal the first two (2) sets because that would be unfortunate ...

Open Ended Adventure Puzzle

Mon, 12/13/2021 - 12:12 — treeves3

The game I'm working on has and exploration/adventure component, and I'm toying with the idea of including some more open-ended puzzles like the one below. So, rather than doing a standard skill check between two options (e.g., Sleeping Gods), the idea is to offer enough information for players to solve the puzzle, have them think it through and discuss their solution, and then read the script to see how closely they came to the full solution. Why consider doing it this way, you may wonder?

Crystal Heroes: Cardback Preview (WIP)

Sat, 12/11/2021 - 22:52 — questccg

Hello all,

I wanted to share with you all this PREVIEW of the "Crystal Heroes" (CH) cardback for the game. This is very much a Work-In-Progress (WIP), there are still some final touches to improve visibility once printed (some elements in the picture get lost due to color filtering).

New Prototype: Freight Forwarding Game

Fri, 12/10/2021 - 16:41 — let-off studios

I design games and interactive activities for use at my day job. I teach people industry-specific material on an introductory level, so that when they apply for a job in the field, they'll have at least a basic understanding of the industry they're entering.

It's always a challenge to develop a game for our typical audience. The vast majority of them - likely 98% - are not hobby game players and haven't played anything more complex than a hardcore game of Sorry! or Uno.

Sorry to all BGDF.com members... Looks like someone decided to be a SPAM-BOT and post a bunch of threads regarding Football (is it soccer or gridiron???) In any case, I have disabled the account and deleted all the SPAM content...

Cheers!
