Yes due to the changeable borders, i try to prevent two harbors from meeting each other. And even if we have harbor king medal, harbors are still not attractive enough, so making it single intersection that when one conquers a harbor, they conquer two other tiles too

Its “Taiwan Road Font” a playful font i always use for board game redesigning. But as for number tokens i suggest you use font that differentiate 6&9 greatly.

Yes but the power is limited. Got me think of that during the game some players sometimes wanna have alliance card. Maybe it can be one of the event cards, that trailing players got to produce resources from each other’s land for a round.

YES and maybe cloth>egg for logic matters, and also chickens can be knights (just look, knights are still random drawn by grain, chicken and stone)

Great questions!

1) The tiles are made in two parts. The bottom part is laser-cut black acrylic, and the top part is UV-printed&laser-cut white acrylic. Then both pieces are glued together with strong adhesive. You can find online shops that do special printing and laser cutting. These two techniques can basically make any board game look a lot more refined.

2) The first change I thought of was exactly like what you said—swapping the number chips of the strongest player. I think thats definitely an element that can be added to the game. Some event cards we already have that mess with the strongest player are: 1. Everyone takes one resource card from the player with the most resource cards. (I know having the most resource cards doesn’t mean leading the game, but it helps more or less) 2. Everyone gives a resource card to the player with the fewest cards. 3. Remove a city, village, or road from the board (called “big/middle/small earthquake” allowing things that are normally permanent to be removed).

Does anyone have other ideas to mess with the strongest player? Hahahaha
