Notes from Thirty-fifth Playtest

Lester & Dan, end of game

Playtest with Lester and Dan.

Experimental Rules

1. Clubs +1 newly found animals
2. Dynamic village, meadow, and tar-pit spots (meadows connect to make a spot larger, tar-pits are impassible)
3. Plant value distribution dropped down to 1-1-2-2

Notes

The club is interesting now, Sling + Club are a strong opening, but lose value later. The spear actually feels a little over-priced now, tempted to try having it cost 2.

Hunt and Gather scores were very close, I think they're finally coming back into balance!

Our board setup was particularly nasty - in other words it was awesome. Area bonus went to Dan (red) had 4 space territory, which gave him a 4 point win!

To Try

Wolf with 2 life or 3 hide. (2 life might actually devalue the Spear even more)

Spear cost at 2.
