I received my game back recently from my playtesters in Orlando. Turns out they only playtested it once, but I got some good feedback. Their biggest concern was wanting to have a community action deck instead of individual action decks. Not wanting to lose the individuality of the different characters - I came up with an alternative plan that will also help to increase the interactivity of the game and give players more choices - the "follow" card. Basically a player can play a "follow" card once per 3 raids and gets to take an action of another action played.

Basically each game the players will choose a master plan, this defines various parameters of the games, but what we're focusing on right now is the game length. Typically 4-5 (game time) hours. Each round of turns takes 15 minutes giving you four turns every hour. You have to accomplish whatever goal(s) are set out on the master plan before the clock runs out. Simple enough.

Oio, peoples. Negotiation is the name of the game today. This can be another mechanic that is difficult to utilize, as it does require players to reach an agreement in order for the game to continue. However, with proper safeguards to ensure eventual agreement, it can create a rewarding, if tense, play experience. I'll address both possible ways to use negotiation and possible safeguards to assurenegotiation.
