Hey guys.
I've finally made a version of RED available on TGC. My issue being the prototype version came out to be 50usd. This was a no brainer for me, because I need a version with the number of pieces (200+) for my own personal use.
66 Poker Cards (Items, 2 copies of each)
32 5x5 Tiles (Character cards, 1 for each player)
2 5x3 Rulebooks
1 10x10 Gameboard
Around 200 1" tiles (Character markers, damage tokens, exp, stack/surge counters)
1 Poker Card box
1 10x16 Game Box
For what's being printed that seemed feasible for me. In the context of the game itself I want to find out a way to make this cheaper. Red was meant to be a modular project, which I'd add to over time. For what's in the box right now I don't think 50 bucks is a fair price. Or maybe it is? What would you guys think is fair? I was leaning somewhere closer to 20-30.
For those of you who haven't seen RED is a tactical combat game that has a free version online. Right now the free print and play version has old art. A lot of characters were redrawn for example. Use these PDF's to estimate how much you'd pay for the game itself.

9 Lives Rules + Cards
What I ended up doing was making a starter set. This set includes 1 copy if the 16 character each, A scorepad in place of damage counters, and a revised version of the 9lives matchtype - one without cards. This basically cut the price down to something more manageable at around 35 bucks.
