Hi there. I've just recently joined this group. I have a game I've been working on. It's still early in its development. I only have rough drafts of the board design and the possible graphics on the tokens. It'd need way better graphics if I decided to pursue it. I'd like some input on the rules I put together - whether you like the idea of the game and if the rules all make sense, or whatever else you feel incline to say.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Michael

Edit - It was originally Kingdom of Jutna game but I'm editing it to get rid of Jutna because of similarities to another game pointed out to me on this site.

I misread "Kingdom of Junta".

I misread "Kingdom of Junta". "Junta" is a banana republic board game.

That's pretty funny. I did

That's pretty funny. I did not know. I'll have to think of a different name. Something that has to do with Wizards, Knights and capturing the opponents Ruler. Thanks for letting me know about the other game.

Don't mind me... I HATE rulebooks (even my own!)

Maybe it could be of benefit to EXPLAIN in an overall way what the THEME is about and what the GAME is about (Area Control, Worker Placement, Tile Laying, etc. etc.) and the predominant aspects of this game that YOU think make it unique. Have you done any World-Building also or not?! Presenting the IDEA of the game that doesn't require me to read a "rulebook" is also good.

As far as graphics go... Yes those tokens seem "basic" and would need to be dramatically improved upon. But that's something an Artist/Illustrator could do fairly easy. You have five (5) icons... I'm sure you could pay like $100 USD for all five (when it comes to art). Icons are less expensive than CARD ART which requires a subject and background, etc. etc.

Just make sure you have the artist make LARGER images... Like 5" x 5" @ 300 DPI with a transparent background (.PNG). That's a bit of a technical detail but it ensures that the icons you get are HIGH QUALITY and you can scale them down for your own purposes.

So let's just discuss the merits of your game (without the need for a rulebook dump) and see what and how you present your game.

Cheers!

Here are some game name ideas for you...

#1> "Kingdom of Sorenthia": A kingdom where sorcery and chivalry collide.

#2> "Kingdom of Drakmoor": A name evoking both dragons and shadowy conflicts.

#3> "Kingdom of Arcendor": A blend of "Arcane" and "Endor," evoking magic and nobility.

Those are my three (3) BEST titles. I'm sure you can find more. These are just samples and if you really like one of them... Feel free to use it!
