Getting Back Into Playtestinig


After taking a bunch of months off from play-testing, I am back and ready to begin again with the refining loop. If you have interest in play-testing this game, feel free to join the play-testing channel of my discord: discord dot gg/MDZVFg8mpa

Recently, I finally managed to get my first play-test where I was not involved in the play session at all, which really helped shed some light on where the rules do (or don't) hold up. With that in mind, I've made some major changes to the outline of the core rules and the example round sheets.

Core Rules Changes:

1. There is now an overview summary section so that you know what the game is about.

2. There is now a list of materials for playing the game in person or if you wanted to create a table top simulator version.

3. There are now graphics that help depict the base materials and how the rules creation process works.

4. There is now a rule restricting who can make rules so that the last player in the round has a better chance of challenging unfair rules.

5. There is now a rule restricting who can make rules so that candidates who have endorsements can't simply rely on their endorsements to usher a proposed rule through the ratification process.

6. There is a lot more clarification into how the "drop-out" and "endorsement" aspects of the game work.


Example Round Changes:

1. There is now a 1st-round page and a 2nd-round page, which allows the example to cover starting conditions.

2. I fixed an embarrassingly large number of typos or incorrect names of people or actions in the example sheet, which should provide a lot more clarity.
