Rules to look at

Here are the rules.

Painted Player Tokens

Here they are. Sorry I didn't post the picture when I actually finished painting them. The blue doesn't look bad in person. It only looks thin because of the camera flash.

If I have a bit of time (I'm working on other things right now) I'll try to touch up the red stripe on the soda jerk hat.

final recipe/ingredients

The final psds are all http://www.visupoint.com/unleashed/cook/ you can all have a looksy if you want. Or http://www.visupoint.com/unleashed/ingredients.zip is all of them flattened and orientated to print out. If you have any concerns or changes in mind this is your last chance because Ive already given shawn the link to print them.

Ive checked all the points making sure they add up correctly and made sure we have ingredients for each recipe. Some art is reused since I couldnt scan in some things but its only a few cards(haggis in particular).

Mother Russia

Well, the motherland has finally been rebuilt. :3

All kidding aside, here's the image of the board at 72 dpi, and a link to the full sizes and printout sheets in a ZIP archive (might be a few minutes on the upload). The garden area entrance ways are more clearly defined, so even the green-negative colorblind of us can see them. The Stairs nodes are in place, so our warp functionality is now implemented. Lastly, the vertical path tables were resized to one square to open up the pathway a little more. This should work well for our needs.

As for the idea to get the rules as concise and accurate as possible, I'm all for it. We can revise the rules from this blog supposing the latest rule set gets posted. Besides that, we only need to get a final verdict on haggis. I'm proposing a vote here and now in my comment area.

[EDIT: The ZIP is done uploading now.]

explaining in detail

Ok, Bryan yes they didnt read all the rules. And remember we have to treat everyone as stupid players. And the first thing they did as stupid players was not read fully. I thank them for being like that to. This is a prime example of what tons of other people might do. Know this also. People are lazy. But the fact till stands that in certain parts that the rules and and board were complicated. No worries now because everything has been sloved. What I was trying to say was... Yes it might be in the rules, but if we can manage to explain it by the interface on the board then thats even better. One word or image can sum it up on the board. The rules have to go into detail. Now what I ment by making the rules a page..., only if that was possible. Really what I ment was the shorter the better. By saying 1 page I am pushing us to try. Understand?

321 Contact and stuff

(Sorry I didn't comment on anything yesterday. I managed to forget to check the blog.)

Might as well use my GMail: BVinchkoski at gmail dot com

I didn't make any changes to the Mis-Chef cards. Shawn didn't think the changes were necessary.

The Player Tokens have been painted since Friday night, I just forgot to post a picture. I'll do that today. The yellow one might need another coat.

We have to make sure we have all of the ingredient cards. I seem to remember that I had to make Nori and Flour on Friday for the play test.

I vote that the 2 seasonings = 1 main ingredient rule be tossed out. It's too complex. Haggis can stay. I think it's pretty funny.

Personally, I don't think it's possible to make the rules only one page. The only reason we had to explain stuff at the play test was because the people playing didn't want to read the instructions, not because they were too complicated. I agree that they can be shortened, but not by a whole page. As far as I can remember from what the rules say, some things just need to be cleared up, like the drop-off space and the areas of the board (like the Mis-Chef tiles).

And for the record, the group at Gamers Guild did not read the instructions. If they did, they wouldn't have asked what rooms the different ingredients could be found in, or the significance of the point value next to the extra ingredients on the recipe card. I'm pretty sure those were in the rules.

Okay, since the posting of the emails hath begun, here's mine:

I broke it down so crawlers wouldn't scavenge it, but you get the idea hopefully. Also, I'm working on the final iteration of the game board right now. I'll probably post it both here and on my web space, but either way Shawn can get his hands on it for printing. Cooking up more info soon (kekeke).
