So finally had a breakthrough with my game idea and finalized a bit on how it will play out. Not ready to give out what exactly its about just yet, however, trying to figure out what good "odds" are for players to win. What I mean is for the win conditions, players need to collect 7 of a certain card. Not all of the same card is available at the same location, there are three locations on the board where they can collect said cards, in those location decks. There might be 2-3 versions of those cards in each deck, but not 1 of each version. In these same decks, there will be other card that aren't these collecting cards. Trying to figure out in a game that can play 2-4 players, what would be fair odds of having players to pull said cards out of these location decks. X factor I don't know how many cards per deck, but for this instance, say 60. Any ideas? Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing.

xopods posted:@hito: Sounds good. Only thing I'd say is that a die roll is kind of a cop-out when you want to add uncertainty to something... maybe certain Opportunities give you Timeflow tokens. When you travel back in time, you can pay two Timeflow tokens to guarantee that you end up in the right time. If you don't, then other players have the opportunity to play one token to cause you to end up one era earlier or later. Thanks for the info. What the players are looking to collect are two fold. -Gold -Collectible Items The same collectible items are also items they can use to attack other players. So they have the option to either keep the item for there win condition or use it to defeat other players. I plan on combining these decks together into "search" piles at each of the locations. Locations are used to confront other players as well as search for more items. So with the gold and items in the same pile, was trying to make it not super rare to pull one of the items as they may use, but not be common as the only thing they pull all the time. Each location has only specific set of items so it forces other players to go to different locations.

So I recently found The GameCrafter online as a place to do a quick one off for your board game once you get out of the notecard stage. Anyone use them before? Prices are very reasonable to for one offs. I wonder if it would make due enough to put that example if you ran a Kickstarter.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:Xpods has said it before, but the margins are way too low if you want to do a KS with it. I used it myself for a one-off project a while back and it's pretty danged excessive really. I had 50 cards, 4 mats and a box and it cost me $30. I was thinking more of using that version to display on Kickstarter, then going overseas to do that actual official publishing of it. So I guess what I am trying to say, is the quality nice enough to get the concept across on Kickstarter?
