Definitely wasn't expecting a board game here, but it seems fun and you definitely put a lot of work into designing the rules and art
A boardgame! Yes! Happy to meet one. I will have to play it to comment on the rules, though.
Looks fun, I'll try it once I have someone over!
A really awesome and innovative idea! It was lots of fun with my brothers!
Any chance you could make a light version of the game board? Printer ink is more expensive than blood.
(if not it's fine, I'll just draw it out)
This is by far the brightest and most creative use of not the theme, but the idea of developing a game during the LDJam. I mean, come on. I can't really object to the idea of having physical media made as part of the thing, right? For all intents and purposes, I say this is a fantastic addition to the submission pool.
I applaud the simple art, and the not-so-intricate rules for a board game. And I'm surprisingly impressed as how well it translates the jam's theme. Lose conditions for everyone allow for a bit of cooperation in what's already meant to be a competitive game.
Still, for all I like it, giving an in-depth opinion of a board game is not my element, specially since I don't have anyone around to play it with. It'd be interesting to see someone on Twitch tackle it though. Anyhow, in behalf of my team, we wish you a very satisfying rating period. Cheers! :whale:
it's really cool to make a boardgame!
@dalep I will work on this once I'm home, i'll let you know :) @everyone thank you very much for your feedbacks, goes straight to our hearts ;)
Board game entries are rare, but this one is really good! Very unique concept and well thought out design. I had fun playing this one with a couple friends. Nice job!
@dalep : light versions are on the github :) (at least for the map and the coins, i'm a bit too lazy to change all the small other pieces sorry)
This was really fun! Nice short and sweet game that would be easy to introduce to people at a party.
It seems like the length of the game can be adjusted as desired by increasing the number of people who have to be dropped off to win along with the cost of buying cars, which is nice.
Overall the rules did a good job explaining things, but we did notice a few possible omissions: - How much money should each player start with? (after reading through the rules we tried $5 per person just to make sure nobody went broke on their way to their first passenger and it seemed alright) - Does it matter which street around your HQ you put newly bought cars on? - What happens when you draw a commuter that will spawn on or right beside their destination? (we just re-drew a new commuter if they were going to spawn on their destination, but if they spawned 1 block away we placed them and used them for nearly-free money)
Quite short, but interesting game. Even though such short games usually have very straight forward gameplay, I feel like this one might need some "Random" events (funny, interesting, game changing maybe). I liked that you have to think if you can get away with buying a bit too many cars, but losing the game when you hit 0$ is a bit too discouraging to taking such risks (especially since it seems to be the most impactful decision in the game that you can predict). Maybe just take away some cars for that or make some other punishment? Overall game has good balance between random and calculated decisions. Good luck with it, will be interesting to gather some friends and play your game when it's polished.
