Changes

Cards stay the same.

The board let Jarrod decide on weather the changes you stated will happen. So call him.

The 2 to 1 spice/ingredient I don't mind. Just let me know sometime today.

Shove is just one thine we could drop. I don't care.

Movement after entering a room is out of the question

Gamers Guild Play Test Notes

I have some interesting results from the play test at Gamers Guild.

-There was a tiny bit of confusion over the ingredient drop off space, as the rules refer to it as an oven. Finding the doors to the rooms took a moment, but that may have been due to the grayscale map. Also, on the subject of the map, Link made some minor changes involving the tables (i.e. the one space next to the surrounded Mis-Chef tiles) and brought back the warp squares.

-They didn't like the "2 spices/seasonings = 1 main ingredient" rule (to tell the truth, I'm not big on it either). They also felt Haggis was too ridiculous for the game (so does Link, I don't care either way).

-They felt that you should be able to go into a room, take an ingredient, and keep moving (if there's still movement on the dice) so the game moves faster.

-Shove was considered too complicated with the four different outcomes to the roll.

-Some of the Mis-Chef cards were considered too powerful, particularly the steal and item discard cards. I think I'll write up some revised rules for them where you have to roll to see if the card is successful or not (we already have that in the "take an ingredient from another room" card). I'll have those revised rules written up in time for the meeting on Sunday.

Problem with the Mis-Chef Card template

So yeah, I've got the templates set up for the Mis-Chef Cards. Titles, rules, and lopsided ellipse behind the title. I made a JPEG, and for some reason, the ellipse doesn't show up. Someone's going to have to show me how to make shapes work properly in Photoshop, or else there won't be any design for the face of the cards.

More, more, more





The next batch of items are potato, beans, dressing bottle and or sauce bottle, dough, peanuts, rice, wine, oats, and tortilla.

The other image is a list of foods we are using in the game.

A Dash of Mayhem




Here is the final name of our board game. This is also the style of the font that we will be using.

More Player Tokens

Here's the "Iron Chef" hats, as I like to call them. I'll be painting them red, blue, and yellow, respectively to match the colors of the Iron Chefs that wore them.








These are the other three. The one on the right is supposed to be a Soda Jerk hat (Jarrod suggested it), but it still needs a bit of work. The two on the left will be green and white, respectively, but I'm not sure what the last color should be. Black, green, or purple?



I'll bring them with me to "class" so the rest of you can get a better look at them.

I came up with some ideas for our board games font name. Tell me which fonts go best with each other. If not we can mix and match. If anyone has any better ideas please let me know. I will try to post more tonight. The image looks like it didnt come out, but if you click on it to inlarge the photo it comes out just fine.
