It’s an EGG day!

I’m currently at the Holiday Inn in Springfield, OR. I’m here for the Eugene Games Gala, aka EGG, for their game day. There’s probably 20 people here, besides me, enjoying games and making connections. Although small, the atmosphere in here is jovial and enjoyable.

​I’ve played Escape the Dungeon once and Space Game once here as well. I got good feedback on both games. I don’t think most of the feedback will make it into the games, rehashing of old concepts, but it’s always nice to make a connection.

Sadly I was not able to stay the entire time because I had a food tasting for my wedding in September.

I was able to go to the 2nd Saturday Playtest and Playtest Space Game again. That Playtest went much better. I’m having issues with catching up. It seems like when one player gets their engine running the other players are left in the dust and they can’t have a chance at winning. The point spreads of the wins reflect that. First game was 16-12-1 and the Second game was 12-5-1.

Each time, that player either didn’t understand the actions of the game, had a hard time deciding what action to use on their turn, or just never got a productive turn where all the cards were in their favor.

​More thought is is required to fix these issues!
