Our upcoming horror game idea has been renamed to "Grave Error" from "Mordgeist". Thank you to everyone who voted in our two polls. Between this and Far Away, a whole new world of two-word games has been opened up for CPG. What an exciting future.
Sharing a board game you are designing with other people is an intense experience. You are showing something personal, a piece of art, with the world. The inherent challenge is the need for critique. As we previously discussed, a game needs real players moving pieces and developing strategies for the designer to see how their ideas are interpreted. You need their feedback. However, playtesters have a different relationship with the game. They provide valuable insight, but filtered through their prior knowledge and biases. Refining your game based on these comments is as much of an art as the initial design.
As the seasons change, the world grows cold and dark. It is time to huddle for warmth with friends in the safety of your homes. This is the perfect backdrop for Catalyst, our post-apocalyptic role-playing game. Enjoy 30% off Catalyst and its campaigns. Band together with fellow winter survivors and save the world this holiday season.
