Notes from Sixty-fourth Playtest

First play with the new pieces from The Game Crafter. I've got some notes for the rules to add about assembly instructions. Glad it doesn't take too long to put the stickers on the disks, so I'll feel fine sending games directly to my blind playtest groups once I touch up the rules.

The game itself was a little lopsided at first, my goal was Crack Shot, so I did a little gathering, then poached a few small animals. All without incident, building a line down the side. Meanwhile, Dan was doing a good job impaling himself on wild boar tusks. But at the same time he was collecting secret goals and leaving me to work the market solo. In the end it came down to a 2 point game, and he could have won with the Master Scout goal, had he remembered that 6th tile was the boar I drove off with a torch.

It's great that the game plays are still fun and surprising, and the secret goals help balance out runs of bad luck.
