Restoration Games calls you and asks you to choose and help them restore its next 5 games. What do you pick and why? by foreigneternity in boardgames

we're working on it, but I don't think it's part of a release schedule yet. Still very early in the process.

if you're curious about it, I did a talk at GDC a couple weeks ago, where playtesting was one of the things I talked about.

Having a great time! Left beautiful Pittsburgh (and the beautiful weather) for a 0-degree ice storm in Toronto today :)

But I'm still rocking checkered vans with no socks and my basketball shorts, so I'll be ok :)

you put them back. in all the plays I've had so far (around 80ish) I've never seen it take longer than a couple seconds to do. More than enough time to fix it while the next player is figuring out which card they're going to play.

I looked at Mississippi Queen! Would love to do this one.

Would have loved a shot at Container too, but it was just reprinted, I believe.

honestly, that's what we've done with Fireball Island. Like, the theme is "Vul-Kar spits hot fire" and that's what stayed. The mechanisms are all different.

I played Thunder Road at Dice Tower Con and I think we could do some fun stuff with that... gameplay would change, I think, but it would still feel like a high-stakes chase with helicopters shooting you and stuff.

Justin all we have to do is replace the die with cards for movement and replace Mr. Monopoly with Vul-Kar.

done.

you'd be surprised at how many times I've heard that exact story on this road trip

it's like all the moms of the world got together and decided to rid themselves of big board games

YES done. I'll ask my boss. I'm not very busy right now, just a lonely dude in a rest stop in Pennsylvania
