“It went, ok”

This week was a testing and refining week. I “finished” my instructions last week and I wanted to test it. So I had created a mock draft of my board game so I could test it. I started by creating the board. Then I made the cards. Finally I collected the little pieces and dice and my master piece was completed. Next I decided to test my game on Thursday with Ms.Willemse, Mr.Hughes and my friends Cashel and Zakaria. It went, ok. It had some serious balancing issues. By the end of the game the board was just filled with pieces and nobody had enough money to buy anything. If you just forget that it was pretty good. The players loved some of the core game mechanics such as the auctioning and the random events that happen each turn. They also gave me a lot of good feedback and ideas in which they think I should add to my game.

So next week it is back to the drawing board and hopefully by Wednesday I can have the game finished and I can start making the actually game so it can be finished by next Tuesday.
