Last week I made a few alterations to the game and printed out a new copy, which I then tested with a copy of new people over the weekend.
They were pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was. I think they were a little sceptical before hand. We didn't get a chance to finish the game, as there are still a couple of issues which need to be looked at, and we ran out of time. I really don't want an average game to last much more than an hour, but I definitly want it to least at least 30 minutes, so people can get there teeth into the game a bit before people can go for the win.
The engine changes I have made seemed to work well and allowing people more freedom to chase each other in the wasteland locations really helped to increase the amount of player interaction and fun.
Having the championship race cards made the game winning conditions more exciting and there was more of a feel of anticipation when one was revealed - really pleased with that change!
However, from this last play test I have even MORE to work on than I had previously considered! I also really want to start putting a bit more colour on the cards. I'm playing it over and over and I need something to look at or it's going to drive me crazy!
Time to finally take a proper look at DeviantArt, I think.
