Call out for REVENGE playtesters

Tue, 03/01/2016 - 21:02 — HPS74

I've managed (in my mind anyway) to put everything down on 5 sheets.

No idea how I will shrink this down at this stage but it's a framework that will be tweaked and changed from feedback from kind souls like you!

The game looks 'full' and some parts I haven't explained in too much detail as they will unfold in later chapters such as the skill tree, Honour etc.

For the purposes of this exercise.....I just want to see if you can get through the first scene...and fight the boss.

New Contest: The Worker Placement Challenge

The Worker Placement Challenge is the next board game design contest at The Game Crafter and it will be judged by Letiman Games (letimangames.com). We want you to design a game that uses worker placement as the driving mechanic. You can consider using 1 worker per player like in Harbour, many workers like in Lords of Waterdeep, or even consider using dice as workers like in Kingsburg. It is completely up to you how you create your workers, how many you have, and what the workers are doing for you.

Do your research!

Mon, 02/29/2016 - 06:01 — radioactivemouse

We all know that creating a game is not a walk in the park and it takes a lot of man hours just to get a prototype that's playable.

But I'm here to talk about something that is rarely talked about here, but is extremely important in game design: doing research.
