Game- To feed or not to feed
Players- Boyfriends Family
What questions did your players have?
- In this play test the players wanted to learn as we went instead of reviewing the rules, so they had many questions about who one the hand, when rounds were over, and how the feeding worked.
How quickly did they learn to play?
- After a few hands, they got the hang of how to play.
What kinds of interactions did the players have?
- My boyfriend and his mom are very competitive and they both try to accuse each other of cheating all the time, so there was a lot of conversation.
What confused players?
- At first, all the different numbers and sections on the cards was confusing to them, but they learned.
What made players excited?
- There were many rounds where one player didn’t win an animal, so they were frustrated but got excited when they finally won an animal.
What did your players enjoy doing?
- We enjoyed taking the food for the animals and placing it on the cards, and once they were fully fed, switching the blue beads out for one white one.
Did any aspect of the game frustrate players?
- When there were many hands where one person didn’t win.
I wonder how the feeding mechanic works in this game. It seems like that is the main focus of the game, yet I haven’t picked up on the mechanic. I’ll have to look into the rules more.
