20 games in 2 days

I have begun to read all of the rule books for the "Play to Win" games for SaltCon. I am not yet though all of them, but I figure that writing down my current thoughts might prove useful to myself in the future (and perhaps interesting to others right now.)

I have not played all these games. My reviews are based on the rule book alone. I decided to read the rule books in an alphabetical order. Here are my thoughts:

Argosy: I didn't get through the rule book during my first attempt. It seems very cluttered. I intend to go back and read it again later.
Baldrick's Tomb: Seemed pretty straightforward. Not really my style of game, but fairly well explained.
Belfort: After having read the rule book I want to play the game. I will definitely look to play this one at Salt Con.
Bellwether: Another rulebook that was very cluttered. I didn't make it through this one on the first try either.
Coconuts: looks fun, but dexterity games are not my style usually.
Council of Verona: Sounded like an excellent game. I will play this one at the Con as well, and hope to win it. It seems like the type of game that I could get people at my work to play.
Crazy Creatures of Dr. Gloom: After having read the rule book, this game seems like a simpler version of Uno.
Dungeon Dice: This game seemed pretty decent. I could imagine playing it for fun, but it is slightly lower on my list than other games. It has some crab bucket elements that I am not super sold on.
Dungeon Roll: I like roguelikes. The rules are clearly laid out. It seems like it could be fun, but the randomness of it might put me off a bit.
Dungeon Roll Hero Booster Pack #1: Didn't read the rules yet.
Eminent Domain: This game seems awesome. I will definitely play it.
Eminent Domain Escalation: It seems to add to the game nicely. I would try it out, but if I won the expansion without the base game that would make me buy the base game
Euphoria:Build a better Dystopia: This game seemed pretty fun. I would definitely try it out at the con.
Farmageddon: Seemed well thought out and like it could be fun. It would be nice if the rules showed some examples of action cards. I might try it out at the con.
Fleet Admiral: Holy crap - this is like a fan made Star Trek card game. Having never watched Star Trek I can't judge it's accurateness, but the graphics are a bit lackluster. It seems a little too random for my likes.
Get Bit: Simple game, easy to understand, and it sounds pretty fun. I will try it out.
Going, Going, Gone!: this game made sense. I am not sure if I would enjoy the mechanics of it, but I would definitely try it out with friends if given the opportunity.
Jungle Ascent: The premise is fun. The game seems well thought out and the rule book was good. I don't quite know if I would like playing it (The crab bucket aspect seems incredibly strong), but I might give it a try.
Little Devils: This is a trick taking game. It seems like it could have some strategy to it, but I already know how to play hearts, and I enjoy that one a lot, so I probably won't try this one out.
Milestones: This game seems pretty simple and also seems like it could be fun. I will probably try it out during the con some time.

The games I have yet to try out are:
Misty Ruins
Other World
Paradise Fallen
Rialto
SlapShot
Space Sheep
Stadium
Stella Nova: Journey of the Magi
Superpowers
The Demise of Dr. Frankenstein
UFO Hunter
Village
Walk The Plank
Where Chickens Dare!

I will review my first thoughts about them after I try them out.

The math trade for SaltCon is almost over. I hope to report a lot of trades soon.

More Automatown and getting ready for SaltCon

Image
Alison and I played Automatown with many of the discussed changes last night. We liked some of them, and others we did not. The game ended up ending in 6 rounds, and it took about 80 minutes. The later rounds were longer than the first few rounds. We also were being distracted by kids, so perhaps we could have gone faster. Alison ended up with 7 workers and 9 points while I had 9 workers and 28 points (more about that later). Having fewer types of resources was very good. It made the economy less confusing, and setup and cleanup much faster. The mats worked well, and during the game, we thought of more things to put on them - (the three starting workers can be added here, as well as a reminder of what level is what in terms of dots.) Here is the mat that we played with: We started with 3 scrap, which was not enough given that we were also playing with the rule that made upgrades cost a scrap. In fact, that rule made us strapped for scrap the whole game. We decided that m...

Probably joining the BGDG

I have started on some artwork for witch hunt . It still is not complete by any means, but it is closer to what I want than the white paper with black writing that I used to have. The cards were designed by me, and the art was drawn by Kit Cox. I found it on the Discworld Wiki . I am currently tracking down Kit and asking him permission to use it, but I have not succeeded so far in contacting him. (He is no longer active on the wiki, and the last time he posted there was 6 years ago). I think that I have found him on Facebook, but it remains to be seen weather it really is him or not. I am trying to come up with ways to speed up the game, and I think that lowering the number of testimony cards will do that. Perhaps that will be enough, but perhaps I will have to do more. I am being quoted on another Kickstarter campaign (this time by tasty minstrel games, so a bigger campaign than last time). I have not gotten as many games of Harbour in as I would have liked recently. Wit...

NaGaDeMon 2013 Day 30: The End

Today is the end of National Game Design Month. Over the course of the month I designed Moar Moai and Roguelike . I would say that Moar Moai is pretty darn playable, and that Roguelike is at least barely playable. Moar Moai has one open point of contention right now, and that is the exact way in which artifacts turn into control over the adventurers. I think that I will end up with players having perfect control over what 'cards' they get (although they might end up as tokens on a specific part of the mat instead of cards), but not know what 'cards' other players have until the scoring round actually starts. Roguelike is still largely unbalanced, and I have never played games with the new weapon cards that I have invented because I have never printed them up (here in California I do not have access to my card creation equipment). Perhaps next week I will do that. It does seem to work without the tokens (+1 etc), but needs a mat to be printed up to make it reall...
