In fact the rewrites have changed vast swathes of the game and have definitely made it more fun to play, less clunky and less downtime for the players when its not their go. Despite the healthy size of my ego (?!) I like to think I've put it to one side and approached this as balanced as I can. Tbf the game can run in either direction, the track is just my rendition and the printed track should be fairly neutral. Once I've got the rules a little tighter I will be looking for groups of boardgamers/wargamers to play them and try to break them so we can tighten it further.Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-67207801626186818212018-05-23T11:48:28.980+01:002018-05-23T11:48:28.980+01:00I hope so Lee :)I hope so Lee :)Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-84103200348216487272018-05-23T11:48:08.021+01:002018-05-23T11:48:08.021+01:00painful yes, but i'm glad it means someone els...painful yes, but i'm glad it means someone else is enjoying the game!<br />Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-18837465010958788202018-05-23T11:31:40.350+01:002018-05-23T11:31:40.350+01:00The game looks great and seems to play well too.
