Thu 11 Oct 2018

Participants: Lucy, John, Megan

Overview

• Testing:
  • Blind playtest of rules

Components & Rules

Same as previous

Comments

Lucy:

• POS: Luring, Story was great
• NEG: Unclear directions, Lure should be any card

John:

• POS: Station names & story; Fun luring lots of customers!
• NEG: Unclear how luring works, starts a bit slow (maybe get 2 stores free? or start with 5 customers on board?)

Megan:

• POS: Moving stores, lots of strategy!

Other notes:

Easter egg colors, not good for colorblind

Things to clarify in rules:

• Who starts?
• Can I lure where there is no track?
• How many tracks per connector?
• How many customers lured per store during lure? 1? all?
• “up to 5 for income” -> draw until you have 5
• Final scoring: what if two types have same #? e.g., 4x 4⭒ 3o 3∆. pick one?

GOOD: Looking at lure routes! neat strategy opps.

Suggestions/Actions

For next playtest:

• Update rule book to address ambiguity.
• Create “quickstart guide” with a brief overview of the rules.
