PROTOTYPE 3.0
Prototype 1.0
*NOTES*
After play-testing, we really like this model. Rules definitely need to be tweaked, and new special spaces need to be added and made more exciting. We like the resource idea from Fey's game, and we'll probably stick with it.
*NOTES*
Not a huge fan of the board type. The other, more linear path, seemed to work better. A nice combination of the both seems like it would be better. The special space cards have improved. Still have work to do.
​
*NOTES*
This is Fey's original game, which we will be basing our new game off of. We like the linear resource management style of gameplay that her game rules provoke.
