Hello,
I am new to the forums so apologize in advance if this is not the right spot for this.
I threw together a play through video for the hockey board game I designed called Drop the Puck.
Any and all feedback and constructive criticism is welcome.
Thank you for your feedback!
I do have a 15 min overview video

I admit that it does take the fast paced action of hockey and slows it down but this allows for strategic gameplay. Setting up pass, shoot combos while utilizing team member abilities and enhancing actions with the coaching cards.
It can lead to lengthy turns and can have a chess like feel but I wanted to go heavy on the theme as most sports games I have played have a "kind of feels like" feel to them (I call it the NBA JAM effect)and I wanted full immersion. I also wanted to stay away from boiling it down to a rock em sock em beat em up type game and lean more towards strategic hockey action.
I had a hockey player play tester that commented how he was successfully utilizing actual hockey plays and setups during his game.
I never dismiss a viewpoint and I will defiantly check out the soccer game to see how they handle converting on the field action into board game format. Thanks again for the feedback.
There are links to the Game Crafter and Facebook page for the game in the description of the play through video. I would post them here but I am still not clear on the rules for the forums.
