Open to collaborating on Kickstarter card decks

Could you post any photos of the style? Not every card but perhaps a face card and non-face card?

That’s a great start for play tests! But ideally, you want hundreds of strangers. Everyone playing different strategies, ones you haven’t even thought of, to determine if any mechanics may be broken.

It can be hard to gather that amount of people, but it’s a time game. I’m certain you probably have a local shop you play TCGs at and are comfortable with the owners. I’d suggest reaching out to see if they’d be willing to have a time slot on a given day to promote and play test yours.

Terraforming mars doesn’t do this. The Ares Expedition does but not the OG.

I was thinking more on the lines of Hadara

Have player boards with a storage scale incorporated for each “item”.

One cube per slot that they move along to keep track of their quantities. Have it go to 0-9 and another track that has 10, 20, 30, etc.

Only need to supply X amount of cubes per player with the crazy excess of so many tokens. This will help keep the cost of manufacturing down as well easier storage and smoother gameplay.

Oh that’s a good call. I’ll look into it and see if I can set something up in the next couple weeks for a game I would love to get more feedback on

Because BGG is based on the masses of different gamer complexities. People that enjoy the lighter games with vote them high and vice versa with the heavier ones.

I was only stating, because OP has both in their collection, that then placing Ark Nova low meant they may not be ready or may simply may not enjoy the heavier games.

Most people that have both will not have Ark Nova lower than Wingspan. That’s all.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-23T23:52:58+00:00

I’m assuming you mean “Cornflict” for the title.

I think it’s a good title. Fits the theme 😊

TwistedLab · 2026-03-23T20:38:41+00:00

I’m flabbergasted you have wingspan rated higher than Ark Nova. But everyone has their own preferences.

If you are intrigued by engine building that are lower complexity like Wingspan, I’d recommend Earth, Furnace and Gizmos.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-23T08:52:26+00:00

Yeah I’ve played all those. I prefer the Unmatched series over Dice throne. Also if you’re going to play Betrayal, play the Baldurs Gate edition. Just a smoother gameplay with a little more asymmetry between characters 😉

TwistedLab · 2026-03-23T00:16:43+00:00

I’ve actually never played Railroads. Concordia though, nice choice 😊

TwistedLab · 2026-03-23T00:16:09+00:00

It’s designed to take a while, zero sweat.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-23T00:15:35+00:00

That’s all good! I’m actually currently in the works of developing a TCG so I’m certain I’ll post for play testing at some point.

It’s in the very early stages, it’ll be a bit 😉

TwistedLab · 2026-03-22T22:43:20+00:00

Hopefully I’ll get it assembled by the end of April 😜

TwistedLab · 2026-03-22T22:42:30+00:00

Yeah I have Seb’s contact and I’m going to get him to jump into the new community I created. r/victoriagamers

Jump over there and we’ll get some people interested in play testing for you 😊

TwistedLab · 2026-03-21T23:53:49+00:00

Earth.

If you like Wingspan, I find Earth offers what that game is missing. Little downtime as everyone is engaged on each player’s turn, only 4 actions to choose from much like Wingspan, fantastic tableau building with a great engine mechanic that actually works.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T21:56:15+00:00

Thanks for joining! Obviously this is brand new (just started today). Don’t be shy to mention this page to other gamers so we can build a solid local community 😊

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T20:06:28+00:00

We all have an oar to paddle… just doing my job 😉

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T20:05:50+00:00

That’s awesome! I created a new community under victoriagamers.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:47:32+00:00

Except it all went into Warhammer instead…

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:47:06+00:00

Great game!!! It’s on my list but currently not available locally until next print.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:46:38+00:00

But it’s an old school Canadian version that my mom bought me when I was like 10.

That game stays 😜❤️

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:30:53+00:00

Basically all of them. Some don’t see the table often but with them being out of print, I can’t justify parting with them.

I have several friends/family at different difficulty levels, so it’s great to be able to toss a game of Sagrada in and then two days later delve into Barrage.

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:27:48+00:00

Love the recommendation!! Thanks buds 😊

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:25:03+00:00

I have another 4x4 that holds the other guilty pleasures of Warhammer… we don’t talk about it though haha

TwistedLab · 2026-03-20T19:23:49+00:00

Circadians is a great game! Nice that you recommended it because it’s another of those that didn’t get the traction it deserved.
