This was when I started the game.
Originally I wanted the markers to look like little highlighted bubbles, and for a few people to be able to play markers per round.
That was not nearly enough symbols to convey anything fun.
I moved up to 7×7. I think the strongest additions were the body parts.
I did want to see if terms rather than symbols could help, but in actually playing the game, the ambiguity of the symbols allowed them to – interestingly enough – symbolize more than just one word.
I still wanted more symbols.
This is the final board. At least digitally. I thought the mixed up version would look a lot cooler, but having the semi-related symbols by each other did help out. At least in terms of finding the right symbol for what you wanted to express.
The final markers work as “are”s and “aren’t”s. Can you guess which is which? You get to place 6 for any one term.
