TradeWorlds: Master File Disaster (or so I call it)!

Well I received from Mike a FILE (.ZIP) which contained a bunch of files and a TON of cards. That was supposed to be the archive with the Master Files to be used to produce the files for the Manufacturer in China (this was 2 weeks ago).

Changes to Templates for Folding Game Boards

The Game Crafter - News - Changes to Templates for Folding Game Boards

We’ve added a new black border in the templates for our Quad-Fold Game Board, Six-Fold Game Board, and Medium Six-Fold Game Board to represent the approximate area on the face of the game board where the black backing will be visible. We’ve also moved the blue dotted Safe Zone line in by about 2mm to better represent the actual area where your text and images will not be at risk of being cut off.

This change may impact your Folding Board images, please update your files as needed, to ensure they print accurately.

Choices should benefit multiple strategies

Like many people, I enjoy Ticket to Ride – but the card-drafting mechanic has always fallen flat for me. Every turn, you may either draft two cards or play a set of matching cards to claim a route. While claiming a route scores points and advances your progress toward your secret objectives, drafting cards just feels like the chore you do in between the exciting route-claiming turns.
