How to joy a beginner ?

Sun, 11/16/2014 - 08:55 — Martin-r-m

Hi,

I have created my new game, a coop workerplacement. Yesterday I have played it with a group of experienced game designers and one of the essence was, the game is too complex, it will scare peaople away who dont´t play this kind of games regulary.

The game itself doesn´t offer a lot of draw possibilities a turn but the results are longterme and complex.

I am wondering if I should reduce complexity and a strategic moment of the game or if I better should make a kind of starting kit with less options for a beginner game and then give experienced players the full package ?

So what did I wrong ?

Hi,
I started a crowdfunding project on Ulule.com. My game"Fleets at Battle" is a family game wich is based on the idea of battleships. It is a dexterity game for 4 players.

I had a lot of play tests and mainly only good comments on the game. Never the less I can not fund this game. Now I want to work over my game but I have no clue what I must change. As the play test went good I don´t want to change the rules. It is more a make over of design. Should it be more comic like ? My presentation seems to be poor too, so what can I change there ?

Moving with colors

Color moving game board

Hi,

I want players to have a race in my game.
I didn´t like the idea of just moving one space forward a time. I came up witht the idea that they could move with colors, the colors come up randomly. You always can move to the next color that came up if you win a challenge. In some parts of the track you can decide if you take the left or right way.

What do you think of this mechanism ?

Gamecrafter cards arrived

mathtornado gamecrafter

Hi,

I got my card game I made by thegamecrafter.com yesterday. I made a box and used poker cards. The cards feel good, the print is nice and centered. The box is nice too but the colors are much darker as the png I made. The green and the blue are too dark, the red color is better. The yellow I used is exactly what I wanted and on the back of the box there is a photo which is good.

Worked on my mathornado cards

Göttingen 2013

Hi,

have been to the game designer meeting in Göttingen, Germany. It is the greatest meeting in europe and about 200+ designers and 30 game companys met.

I had 3 proto games with me, Schiffe Versenken, Schnappschusssafari (Snapshotsafari) and Prom Night. I was able to let Schiffe Versenken (Battleships) being reviewed with a proto by a publisher and talked with two other companys about it.
Schnappschuss Safari was a very popular game with the visitors but I couldnt find any publisher to be content with it. I will maby work it over, a nice game.
