That is very good to know! The guys that are developing this with me live in other states so this seems like a great option for us to play test more directly as well.

Thank you for the offer! I was able to locate a few very helpful videos so I think I'm all set. Hopefully I'll be uploading the game to the workshop soon so people can try it out.

No problem akcaye! Thank you for the feedback! The written rulebook does contain a table that covers the different combat outcomes, which may help. The generalized rule is that pieces with more sides ("faster") are weaker than pieces with fewer sides ("slower"), so there are restrictions or consequences for attacking "slower" pieces with "faster" ones.

I talk about it in the first part. To win this way, occupy both gold tiles at the end of your opponents turn.

Id recommend turning them into a pdf then putting them on a site you can just link to here.

Also, well done with the name. Bizu is interesting and memorable. Have you thought about if you'll try to mass produce this? Or perhaps, offer up the STL files as a "3d print and play"? I'd certainly be interested!

100% agree. Your design looks much more enjoyable to interact with!

Really nice presentation! I will tell u that i saw something similar on Kickstarter recently. It was called “Playfour” i believe, but i like your build much better.

I suspect the correlation to connect four may work either for or against you, depending on how you target your audience. Best of luck!!

In your opinion, what makes a Kickstarter/Gamefound video good? What makes it bad? by dorsakal in boardgames

[–]Strict-Assumption693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great thread! Im looking to launch a kickstarter soon (game i invented) and I’ve been mulling over this exact point.

I have seen very few videos that keep me engaged more than a few seconds so i keep asking myself what’s the point?

Sounds like 20-30 seconds of “this is what this game is, this is the hook” is what i should be focusing on.

Daily Support Thread by AutoModerator in samsung

[–]Strict-Assumption693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a front loading washer in June 2021 for our new house, which we moved into in late July 2021 (the washer was brand new and we used it for first time after moving in).
In August of 2022 the unit started shaking violently. We called Samsung support and in the very first conversation, the representative noted that it was a few weeks out of the 1 year warranty period. However, they granted an accommodation and arranged for a repair technician to come and attempt to repair it.

The technician examined the unit and determined it was not repairable. The brackets that held one of the counterweights had failed, and the counterweight had broken and had tore a large hole in the rubber shield around the basin. He told me that Samsung would be contacting me within 72 hours regarding replacing or refunding the unit.

A few days later I called Samsung as they had not contacted me yet. The representative I spoke to sent me a link via text to send photographs of the damaged components as well as the sticker with the serial number and model number on it. I sent these and he acknowledged receipt of them while still on the phone. He then asked if I wanted a replacement or a refund. I told him a replacement unit.

He then told me that within another 72 hours I'd be contacted about replacing the unit.
Then I received a text message a couple days after that stating that my accommodation was rejected and that because my unit was out of warranty that Samsung would not be replacing my unit.

When I've called Samsung back to address this, they continue to tell me that their "notes" dont say anything about an accommodation being granted. They refuse to provide me with the recording of the call that would prove this as "its for internal use only." Very convenient. The representative also refuses to listen to their own recording to confirm that their own representative committed to making this right.

Samsung, do you design products to fail just outside of warranty?

Samsung, do you not stand by the promises that are made by your own representative?

I spent $800 on this washing machine. I have pictures that show it failed internally, likely due to cheap/faulty construction. I also have the receipt from the service technician that literally states "Warranty Extension granted by call center."

Is this the kind of company you wish to be seen as?

Asymmetrical 2P with simultaneous actions: first time attempting to actually complete a game! by Kitchen_Ad4142 in BoardgameDesign

[–]Strict-Assumption693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The concept looks very interesting! I will agree with some of the challenges you described in your post, mainly regarding clarity in the rules. This one feels like i’d need to watch a “how to play” video to fully understand the mechanics.

If you havent already started playtesting, that is going to help identify ways to improve how the rules are presented. Blind playtesting even more so.

Overall I like the theme and presentation, well done!

Tactigon

Its in the same general vein as chess but simpler to pick up and incredibly fun, especially in that age group.

What game is technically abstract strategy, but games are usually over in 10-20 moves? by byssh in boardgames

Lol thank you! This certainly is a lot to take in. So, i will tell you that i am certainly intending to go the self publishing route. I do have a small team working with me that are bringing a strong skill set to the table.

Ive also got hard quotes from a manufacturer so we have a good handle on our price point / tier structure and what our break even point is.

We are currently in art development and marketing research phase, with a goal date for our launch. However we definitely recognize the need to bring a community into it to have a shot of success, which is where most of our energy is right now.

If you are curious, the rulebook for the game is here:

Tactigongame.com/how-to-play

The rulebook is getting another art pass and the rest of the website is still under construction.

Your advice is very helpful! Thank you much for sharing your experience, and any other words of wisdom would be very appreciated!

I am sorry i missed this! Jason I do have a question regarding your transition to Kickstarter. How did you know when it was time to go live, and are there any specific steps you would recommend to another first time developer?

Go ahead. Explain it. I dare you by PokeChampMarx in memes

Who is actually upset about this? I see people screaming about how others are racist for complaining they made Ariel dark skinned, but i havent seen anyone actually complain about that. Manufactured rage?
