What is the game like?
We have developed a prototype for our game which is best summarized as chess meets Settlers of Catan, but has military focus similar to Risk or Battle Cry, Have you played any/all of these games? do you enjoy them? Its a 2 to 4 player game, which last between 1 hour to 3 hours, although a typical game is 2 hours once you get the hang of rules.

Basic Game Summary: How the Game is played
The Cost of War is a two to four player chess-like strategy game which allows players to attack their enemy’s soldiers, civilian population, and/or city infrastructure. The 8 x 8 chess-like grid is made of 3 x 3 inch square resource tile which produces steel, food, and currency, as well as natural land defense tiles water and desert. Each turn allows one of two game choices (1)battle or (2)improve economy. The civilian population produces the steel, food, and currency which allow players the option of building city improvements and/or producing more soldiers/civilians. Winning is a combination of dice rolls and decision making. Victory points are gained through killing enemy population, building a city capital, being the peace maker, or conquering enemy land. No one strategy wins the game but is a combination of several of the victory points to win.

Selection of Playtesters
Anyone with interest to become a play tester please send me a message, within 1 week we will have several prototypes ready for shipment. We have a limited quantity to ship as each prototype is a cost to us of approx $50 each. We expect critical feedback and we ask the prototypes get shipped back to us once play testing is completed after 2 month, at our cost for shipping. Please note anyone who assist in the play testing phase will be given 1 free copy of finished product if/when we reach our pledge goal on kickstarter, crowdfunding, et al. Please be advised we can not send a prototype to everyone who ask, we will only be able to select a handful of individuals. Please do not get upset if you are not selected on first round and we will try to get more prototypes sent around after more feedback.
Appreciate your interest.
Our first round of play testers have now received a copy of the prototype.
We have begun to receive feedback on rules and game play and as a result we have made substantial adjustments to rulebook and have added many illustrations to make game rules easier to digest. Please check the link sent out for the most current rulebook as we make changes daily/weekly.
Should any one else want to play test, please message me, as we will have a new round of prototypes ready soon.
