Busy week prototyping to give the new Planeteer tech tree a spin! #gamedesign #boardgames #boardgamedesign

[Pip Dream Games @pipdreamgames]

Two player playtest of Planeteer exposed some interesting design challenges. Stripping away everything but Rovers and Structures mean that those mechanics must be 100% solid! #boardgamedesign #gamedesign #Boardgames

Trying out a few new ideas for Planeteer and To The Ends of the Earth! #boardgamedesign #boardgames #gamedesign #tabletopgamedesign

Continuing to experiment with the structures in Planeteer. So many inspirations to draw from, but finding the right fit for the game is the real challenge. #boardgames #boardgamedesign #gamedesign

Introducing our 2018 Sample kit! Featuring a super cool “Gullwing Style Door!” These are just SOME of the cool items inside. 😎Oh by the way...did we mention it can double as a TCG… https://t.co/1cDNw2OGBN

Working on some balancing issues! Giving the player more control (and making their inputs less luck-dependant) means going back to the maths and making sure the game isn’t broken from the foundations. #boardgamedesign #gamedesign #boardgames #tabletopgames

[Pip Dream Games @pipdreamgames]

Working through a new tech tree mechanic for Planeteer! Using structures and components to unlock tech, requisitions, new dice and budget increases. Hopefully this will fold the research aspect of the game into the core Rover mechanics! #boardgamedesign #gamedesign #boardgames

A very decisive three-player playtest of Planeteer tonight! Plenty to ponder! #gamedesign #boardgamedesign #boardgames

@RoscoSchock This reminds me of The Far Side! Great idea!

[Pip Dream Games @pipdreamgames]

@RoscoSchock @CardboardEdison Here are a few things planes can drop: bombs, food supplies, water on forest fires, people (paratroopers, skydivers), and there’s an odd story about wartime planes dropping propaganda leaflets on enemy civilians, which I always though could make a cool game!

Finally got to play Scythe! Absolutely brilliant gameplay and an incredible production! There’s so much to explore and I can’t wait to play again! Thanks @stonemaiergames for an unforgettable gaming experience! #boardgames #tabletopgames

I’m a day late posting about my 7th and final day of a week-long playtesting challenge. I set up a game of Planeteer about 1/2 through to focus on testing the endgame. It was hoot being able to use the high-level components and upgrades! #gamedesign #GetItToTheTable #boardgames

[Pip Dream Games @pipdreamgames]

Day 6 of #GetItToTheTable: Today I ran a two-player playtest if Planeteer, but this time I started the players off about 1/3 of the way through the game to try to pinpoint where player progression starts to slow! #gamedesign #boardgamedesign #boardgames

Day 5 of #GetItToTheTable: today was another 2-player playtest of Planeteer. This time organising the contract cards into three tiers, helping the players focus their strategies and goals!

Day 4 of #getittothetable! I ran a two player playtest of Planeteer and simplified the tech tree to try and pick up the pacing of the game. It had little effect, BUT it made me realise that the problem may lie with the scoring system! #gamedesign #boardgamedesign
