Objective:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The objective of the game is to get as many grass points\/cards as you and your opponent mow all the grass on the board in order to end the game.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Materials needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Board<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Grass cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Setback cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Two dice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- meebles\u00a0 (marks which space\/tile was mowed already)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Paper and pencil to keep track of score<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Iphone timer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Setup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Take all of the cards and shuffle them into one deck and place them in a empty space on the board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The tallest player will start the game or be the first turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Turn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Both players are going simultaneously<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The player will roll one dice, and move the amount of spaces of that number on the dice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The player can go anywhere on the board, no restrictions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The player will pick a card for each space they move. For example, they roll a 2 and move 2 spaces hence pick up 2 cards.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- After you have moved (mowed) a space, you will mark it with a x\u00a0 or a meeble.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
(you can still use this space to move around in it but you can not get a card from it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ex: rolls the dice and gets 3, but \u2154 spaces are mowed already. So, you can only pick up one card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- If you pick up a card that has a setback, you will have to complete the task on the card in order to continue.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You have approx. 25 seconds to complete the\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Out of gas\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Nebby neighbor\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Dinner time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reapply sunscreen<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- You do not have a time limit with:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Mower broke<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Dog poop on the blade<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- If you do not complete the setback challenge within the time constraints then you have to remove one grass card point from your pile.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Winning\/Losing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Once the whole lawn is mowed, and there is no more space to collect cards then the game is over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Count up your points, and the points win.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSome changes I made in Mow Masters was adding more setbacks and sabotages. A lot of the players gave me feedback on changing the setbacks since the game was too easy in a sense. I made a lot of alterations regarding the design of the board. I wanted to make it super unique and curvy, but it wasn’t making sense when the game was being played. So, I switched it around and changed the color which was to boring and wasn’t the best design. I finally stopped when the board was just in hashes to give the players a sense of what the board is and how it applies to game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the future, I would love to rework only roll 1 dice and two dice for challenges. As well as, adding a sand timer to pick up the pace in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would say that this is my least favorite game. The rules weren’t really making sense in my brain, and I kind of got frustrated with the design of the board. Overall, I did get get feedback so I was pleased with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
