I recently tried adding role cards to the game but it proved a little too easy to work out players' roles. Let's try a second iteration, this time adding bingo style scoring to the game to see if that speeds things up a bit!
We're going to be playtesting these changes this evening!

I guess a final thought, I could use bigger menu cards but for just 8-16 cards, that would adversely affect the production of the game in terms of cost (box size would increase and only 8-16 cards would be larger). I think the game would be unwieldy and overly expensive if all the cards were larger.
On top of the 3 mentioned above, there is now the dish name AND the courses are colour coded with a banner and a coloured ring around each dish. It's difficult when there's so much info to fit on a standard poker sized card. Do you think these additions help? 🧡2/2
What are your thoughts on the slightly revised card and menu layout? Some people have said they find it hard to find dishes on the menu and that some kind of common background per-course would help with quicker scoring in A Taste for the King. #cardgame #boardgame #gamedev For a while there have been 3 ways to find a dish on the menu: card art/icon, letter (if symbology is hard for you) and of course the course information, however some people still struggle so I've added 4.5 ways to do it.🧡1/2

A Taste for the King Pre-launch is at 33 followers on #Kickstarter. Can we get a few more?
It's a game about taste testing at a medieval feast. It has:
Tense push your luck action
Authentic medieval dishes
A little bit of social deduction/interaction
It's been playtested @protospielo several times over the last year (and again next weekend) and has come a long way.

I think for the time being Drentsoft Games will use mastodon.gamedev.place for video game updates (game jams and products) and mastodon.social for tabletop game updates. There seem to be too many #tabletopgame mastodon servers to choose from. πŸ˜… Feel free to follow on one or either.
