Greetings BGDs, Harry from Boston here. I'm working on a deck builder that has been playtested about 30 times so far.

This is my first game, long time player first time designer. You can learn more about the game (rules, download Print and Play version, current artwork and more) on http://warringkingdom.com , and I'd appreciate any followers/ likers on facebook to help raise awareness of the game at facebook.com/warringkingdom

The game introduce a board-building mechanism to a deck building game, forcing players to make interesting tactical decisions that are often at odds with the strategic objectives. A play must balance its military (to survive the constant aggression or threat thereof from their neighbors) and its economy (to support a larger military in the long run). After smoothing out the rougher edges, I think the game is in a reasonable state and would love to get as many players as possible. Any feedback, especially negative ones that help me improve the game, is much, much appreciated!!

I plan to have the artwork done in the coming months, send out prototypes to reviewers, and then go the kickstarter route by the end of the year.

Have done some research on manufacturing and other logistics, still need a lot of help....so any insight is very welcome!

Hi Harry,

If you live in Boston, have you tried out the local Board Game Design & Prototype Circle yet? We're a group of playtesters and designers (from different levels) and meet twice a month in Cambridge at the CIC.

Cheers,

Aerjen

Yes!

Thanks for the invite! Yes, I'm already part of the group :) When I say I'm from Boston I'm speaking from the future--I'm currently in NH, and will move down in a couple of weeks. I will go to the first meeting the second I'm actually in town!

I just moved OUT of Boston, and was too busy to join a single meetup with you guys. You guys are probably lucky that I didn't.

I'm also in Boston. I belong to the meetup group but like squinshee above I've never attended due to scheduling. However I do pay a visit to "Game Night" in downtown crossing every tuesday at Good Life Bar on Kingston st. If you guys ever want to come by for a beer and run some demos you're more then welcome!

Ha! Wow! Before I moved to NY

Ha! Wow! Before I moved to NY this month I worked at Kingston Station, which is literally right across the street from Good Life. I had zero idea they had a game night. Shucks.
