Hey, griff and tec. Sorry for my delay in commenting, it took me a bit to wrap my mind around the gameplay. For the most part, I think it works. The legend could have a bit more clarity: the "Warden borders armory" should go with all of the Warden stuff in that box with the badge, and it took me awhile to understand the Sniper diagram. I think you should use arrows there instead of "2 DEEP" and "3 DEEP". As far as gameplay goes, there doesn't seem to be much incentive to get out on the track, so I think a +1 per 2 or 3 (I prefer 2, myself) track pieces with a car would do well, then eliminate the +2 per 3 with the Snipers, as I think their bombarding abilities are good enough, since they would be good tools for cards. Oh, and one other tiny thing: The Aryan Bros and the Red Saints appear to have the same car

Yep, good catch.

Sniper diagram. I think you should use arrows there instead of "2 DEEP" and "3 DEEP".

How about both? The legend would need to be much larger to accurately depict enough of the track to get the idea across without the text (at least the first time someone played the map).

get out on the track, so I think a +1 per 2 or 3

From the very beginning the idea was a bonus for tracks, not sure how we missed putting it in the legend :oops:

eliminate the +2 per 3 with the Snipers, as I think their bombarding abilities are good enough, since they would be good tools for cards

Agreed any bombarding region is good for cards, but since the tracks can bombard to the rear there would be little incentive to take a sniper unless it would allow you to eliminate someone, but with limited range that is unlikely. So snipers need something to make them useful...

We were just testing you foundry people to see who was sharp enough to pick up on it

Thanks for the input! Map has been updated.

Thanks for the thoughts victor, I knew that those 2 cars were the same, just wasn't sure if anyone else would have seen it, actually we will probably trade some of the cars out for others once we find better looking ones later on

Updated To Do list.

One thing that I'm not 100% clear on is the guard tower bonus. I think some sort of label over the guard towers would be helpful in indicating what exactly the guard tower is... I think its those 5 sided things on the four corners... but not sure. it couljust be the area with the door.

The other thing I don't really get is the whole prison thing, I mean are there prison races? I think you might have a better chance at connecting with your audience if you went the Mad Max post-apocalyptic route... so instead of Warden there could be the king or maybe Master Blaster and instead of prison guards his minions ... for the prisoners, you could just keep them as is or try to work in some factons.

EDIT: nevermind the last paragraph I just found out about death race.

Meh, I think the Sniper bonus should at least be lowered, but I suppose it's not bad as is. One more thing (in addition to Helix's point about the guard towers): you need to denote the impassables in the legend (the thick, black lines, I assume).

Looks good! One clarification: Is it +2 per Guard Tower, or +2 for any 1 Guard Tower? That is, if I'm holding 2 Guard Towers, do I get +2 or +4?

+2 per would make more sense and what we had thought, but clarification of the wording is needed, thanks for pointing it out.

How exactly would you word it in the legend? Now that we added a piece of texture to the key and put numbers on the tower can we just go back to "Guard Tower +2"?

Stickied for now, maybe some red ink in the future.

I think that would work fine.
