EmpyClawMore playtesting!
My partner put together a little mock board to get people interested in coming out tonight.
Excited to see how it goes.

What a great time!
Discoveries from today’s playtest: this game is not optimized for six people to play. 😅
I have long figured the ideal was 2-4. I figured I’d try to see if it could support 6. It’s not a great time for the sixth player.
There are some ways around it, but I am not sure if it’s worth optimizing for a group of that size vs keeping what’s working well for a smaller table.

A couple of folks left me some comments after the game. Very excited, as these were comments from strangers and so they definitely didn’t have to take the time to be nice 😅

I've hit this same dilemma in a design of mine when trying to change a 2-player game to support 3-4 players as well.
It can work but is clearly not as good.
Very cool of them to leave the note, congrats 🙂
@s3rvant I’ve started to wonder if a problem like this is better solved by “Make it work in an expansion” than trying to tinker with the existing stuff a lot more.
But maybe that just risks the experience being more disjointed.
Jerk@EmpyClaw Totally unrelated to your test, but out of curiosity: I see people with wooden hats, jackets and what not, but one in a T-Shirt. I really wonder about the climate condition in that particular room. 😇 <scnr>
@jerk Ahaha! It was a chilly day and rather cold in that room. The first player is the one who “has the most metal in or on their person.” So the one person in a t-shirt had removed their sweater to reveal they had a metal band shirt on underneath. 😆
That said, Canadian Spring also means sweaters, coats, and shorts are all possible during a gathering. 😅
@EmpyClaw WOW that's a way to win the first player competition! That's for explaining, really made me laugh. 🤣
