add easier way to count – maybe the game comes with a calculator
How was the play experience changed since the first play test?
Better, start to get the hang of it
Is this a game you would play again?
Yes, it is fixable and fairly easy to pick up.
Hey Aaron, really enjoyed playing your revised version of this game. Here’s my feedback.
1. What was the most frustrating moment or aspect of what you just played?
Not 100% clear on who begins and what order you go in from the start. Felt like adding to 50 each time the turn came to me was tasking, lots of math.
2. What was your favorite moment or aspect of what you just played?
I liked that each card had its own effects and can change how the game is flowing when best for the player
3. Was there anything you wanted to do that you couldn’t?
I would like to strategize a bit more (would be possible with clearer instructions in the rules)
4. If you could change, add, or remove anything from the experience, what would it be?
I would add an element that makes each turn feel more intentional, something more than just drawing a card
5. How has the play experience changed since the first play test?
I didn’t play the game before the revised version of the rules you have but the second time we played the game it made a lot more sense and I started to remember the details about card values and such.
6. Would you play again and why?
I would definitely play again now that some of the rules have been clarified. It was fun!
