Now that the village board is gone, the villagers are each represented by two cards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. A small Worker card, which is moved around the Building card lines to show where the villager is working.<\/li>
  2. A large Village card, arranged in a grid and used as a place to put the villager’s coins, stress, and support counters.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The arrangement of the Village cards also creates an opportunity to have villagers interact with adjacent Village cards as neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I wonder how much it will confuse the players to deal with abstract villagers that are represented by two components. It’s not like it’s a totally new mechanism: I’m basically using the micro cards where lots of other games (especially tactical games) would use figures. Something to watch for in playtesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve pondered what to call the Village Life cards. Leaving them with that title is likely to cause people to confuse them with the Village deck. I don’t want to call them Event cards, because I haven’t ruled out the possibility of having village-wide Event cards affect the game. So now they are just Life cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve added in the rules for community stress and support at the end of the year, and now I’m ready to solo playtest again. I wonder if I can get a full three years in before our playtest event on Saturday? If I cannot, that’s not a great sign for how long the game takes to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
