Version 2: Developing the Game
Changes Made:
- Streamlined Deck:
- Reduced Trick Cards to 20 and renamed them Mischief Cards to avoid confusion with the Trick suit.
- Removed Wild Cards entirely.
- Simplified Turn Structure:
- Limited each player to one major action per turn:
- Play a Number Card OR
- Use a Mischief Card OR
- Activate a character ability.
- Balanced Abilities:
- Adjusted character powers to be fairer and more strategic:
- Anansi: Changed from “swap hands” to “swap one card with another player.”
- Tiko the Tortoise: Adjusted to block one Mischief Card per round.
- Improved Card Effects:
- Mischief Card effects were focused on individuals or small groups, reducing group-wide disruptions.
- Example: “Wild Distractions” was changed from forcing all players to pass cards to targeting one player.
