The Devine Works of Art & Design

Everyone says that the Art and Design can make or break a game. Jamey Stegmaier wrote a wonderful article here. That’s exactly why I have been working on the artwork since I figured out the theme to my game.

I know everyone says that you should wait to work on the artwork until after your Kickstarter campaign is finished. Well, that may work for game designers that are not also illustrators, which is what I am.

Combinatorics: And the "Metro-like" CCG

Mon, 07/16/2018 - 20:19 — questccg

A very long time ago, maybe about five (5) years ago... I played a older game called "Metro" designed in 1997 (https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/559/metro). I lost the game, only because I did NOT interfere in one player's configuration... But I was already dealing with two other players and trying to foil their best intentions.

I really didn't LIKE the overall experience of the game. Because had everyone messed with everyone else's configurations, the winner would have been much harder to determine and I probably would have won... Or so I believe!
