Here are some rules I used in this playtest that were contributing factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First solo playtest of a four-councilor game. The (untested) rule for distribution of Sympathy cards was to deal them all out at random. If you get your own, deal with it.<ul><li>Note that Red got two of their own, so any advantage they get in scoring is multiplied.<\/li><li>Also note that everyone has 3 Sympathy cards instead of just 2. So Red&#8217;s multiplier for their own moral is 4 rather than 3.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Random selection of starting villagers. Kelly and Lee gave Red 4 pips right out of the gate. Green had 2, Blue and White had none.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no point continuing this playtest. I still want to try random starting villagers, but I&#8217;ve changed the four-councilor Sympathy card rule to match what I&#8217;ve been using for three councilors: you get one of the unplayed councilors at random, plus the councilor to your left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, lots of positive improvements! I like the new village grid. The community support and stress rule already looks good. And the new Building card visual design already looks a lot better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New solo playtest. At the end of year 1, all players but Red have 1-2 points.
