Independent designing; grid-based project on Ancient Greek battles of Classical Hoplite-dom, where players try to use signals (also know as 'cards') to issue orders to their troops and the troops sometimes do not listen.
Three types of units, three "armies" of Athens, Sparta and Thebes. D6.
Currently in quiet works within confines of TTS Workshop.

At this moment, the site contains PnP files, charts, cards and counters along with a TTS module... but the rulebook still being made.
The game, as a part of jam, is in ongoing development and will keep receiving updates.
Internal testing continues. The images show a fictional battle between armies of Athens and Thebes.
The combat system/table is being reworked and the initial testing brings me, a designer, slightly closer to the narrative that I want to propose with this title. Nevertheless, there are still things to work on.
'Toot Toot' is a sandbox game about tactical battles of Ancient Greek armies where the main aspect is Command and Control of an army.
Units have assigned orders (attack, move, hold - among others). They can be assigned freely at the setup but later, mid-game, they can be changed only by a card play... And the volumes of sound/noise that units create on the board by their actions may make it quite difficult or downright difficult.
It is the game where one wants to blow their signal trumpet and convey the orders to their troops in the most efficient way possible.
The newest update for Toot Toot is available online.
I would be grateful for any comments and feedback :)
