We have not made any changes after this original prototype. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were to make further iterations of this, I would make minor mechanics tweaks and then enhance the design. First, I would add the ability to trade in useless resources for one players want at a 4:1 ratio. I would also add the ability to collect your teammates lives for them (but if they are dead they stay dead). Next, I would specify that a player does not need to roll the exact number to land in their teams home and place resources. Other than that, all changes would be cosmetic. I would flip “The Birds” and “nest” so it would be facing the birds team. I would make the board out of a thicker material and all of the spaces would be indented for the resource pieces to fit in like a puzzle. The resource pieces would be hexagonal. Perhaps the Player Icons could be little birds and beavers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game worked very well. Mechanics worked and the game was cute. With these minor tweaks, it would be a great game! I would be interested in taking it further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
