❗Playtest our board game prototype❗-it is weekend 💪😎 . Yesterday we had the latest playtest from our board game prototype 😎 . What you can see on the pics 1️⃣ and 2️⃣ is the actual development step and shows the presence of the game on the table 🤔 at the moment we are testing different types of meeple. Which meeple fit to the game. In the center of pic 1️⃣ you can see the (a) tower 🤔 it will be a part of the military part of the game 👍 from the view out of the presence the tower fit into the setting 🤔 not to big but as well not to small. If it will be the final decision? 🤔 We will see - it is a prototype 😁😇 . On pic 6️⃣ you can see some black tokens. The black tokens are special features which are for example treasures which can be found. To be honest, the black treasure tokens are a little bit tall 🤔😅 pro: They stand out from the other tokens, which is what they're supposed to do 🤔 con: the treasure box is taller than the village token 😅 . you see, it is a difficult decision which tokens are possible to use 🤔😅 . But one thing is clear - we will use for the basic game wood components 👍 Because sustainability is very important to us 🙏 the only plastic component will be the dragon 👍 because the dragon is the "main figure" in the game 😎 . Again, a special thank to our playtest crew pic 3️⃣-4️⃣ 🙌 you guy's are awesome 👍👍 thank you for your honest and critical feedback 👍 that is exactly what we need 🙏 . Ahhh, almost forgotten 😇😁😅 pic 5️⃣ shows the work before the playtest 😬 preparing over worked components for there first use 💪💪 . It is what it is - a prototype 🙏💪💪 it isn't finished and a living process 😁 but it gives you step by step a impression how the final game will be look like 🤩🤩 .

How to develop a board game? 🤔Let's talk about costs? 🤔 . Product and production costs 🤔 these are in our case two different categories... . Product costs: Every single thing in this game costs money 🤷🏻 clear. The meeples, the wooden token, the tech - tree, the rule book, the color of the meeple, and so on 😅 you can see that our prototype is fully out of wood 😎 and that's the challenge 😅😅 wood price raise in the last time about 40% 🙈 paper too 🙈 that means for us we need to change the calculation 🤷🏻 what makes the game more expensive 🙄🙈 at the moment... . Now let us take a look at the production costs: The "easiest way" to publish your game idea is to cooperate with a publisher 🤷🏻 you give your idea to the publisher and he publish it. You get for it a few percent of the profit 🤔 that's it 👍if you find a publisher how is willing to publish your game idea 😅😅 . The second opportunity is to run a Kickstarter campaign and produce the game in China 🤔 But then there are in addition to the product cost - > production costs, transport costs (they raise too 🙈 and not little 🤯) , customs, manufacturers cost, and so on 🙈 but you may have, if you calculate right and did your economy homework a higher profit margin 🤷🏻😅 and you are your own publisher 💪😎 . Option three is (and that is the interesting one 🤔😁) Produce the individual product parts via suppliers and assemble the various product parts yourself to create a game 🤔 that means addition to the single product costs you need a manufacturing hall, possibly machinery, workers, and so on -> that costs money 🤯😅 but it could be cheaper to produce it by yourself than to let it produce 🤷🏻 more work but cheaper 🤔 and you have afterwards the infrastructure to publish more games 😁😇😝 . You see, developing a board game means not to have an idea 🤷🏻 it is as well and I would say most of it - brutal economy 😅😅 the idea is the "easy part" realize the idea is the difficulty 🤯😅😅 . ❓If you have any questions around the theme? 🤔❓ Let us know ⬇️⬇️⬇️ . Ahhh, almost forgotten 🤯😅😅 ‼️These are mind games based on our starting position and economically rudimentary thoughts 😁😇😝‼️

👷Prototype playtest 👷💪💪😎 What do we playtest? 🤔😁 . OK, you all know that we are actually working on our prototype 🤭 that's not new - hopefully 🤭🤭 At the moment, based on further playtest we adjust some rules 🤔 but adjusted rules need to be testet 😅 . It works like that: First when we change something into the gameplay Paul and I sit together and play the sequence which we changed 😬 after that we look if the assuming works 🤔than we playtest the hole game with the #raucciuscrew 💪after that we mostly know if it work 😅😅 If it has passed the test by us, it goes on to one of ours playtest groups 🤭 There it is checked again whether the change makes sense in a complete game and whether it runs smoothly 🤔 and this is what Paul did yesterday 🥳 we can say, yes it works 💪💪 now we will play the change with another playtest group - after that an it works the change will come into the game 💪💪🥳 . May you ask yourself "what the hell did we change" and what are we talking about 🤷🏻🤔 OK, only so much, a much more detailed description follows 🤭🤭😝 . The game has an exploration mechanism 🤭 In that different playing fields can and should be explored 🤔 To speed up exploration a bit, we've adjusted this mechanism 💪 . "That's all" 🤷🏻 but as you can see even small changes in the gameplay require a lot of work and a certain amount of time 🤷🏻 but this, these little changes the hole project makes that all for us so so beautiful and wonderful 🙏 . To see how the game grow, to be a part of it, is the best and most beautiful thing 🤩🤩 It is what it is - our passion 🙏 and still a prototype 😅😅 .

They say “life is a game” but what if life is a board game? 🤔 . Have you ever thought about it? 🤔 . You make moves, use resources, think about your next steps and in the end you decide whether it was good or not. 🤷🏻 . Now at the beginning of the new year it is said everywhere "new year, new chance, new possibilities etc." . Is it really like that? New chances and possibilities? 🤔 . I think it's like a move in #boardgames 😅 A round is over and the resources, movements are planned for the next round 💪 . With this in mind, I was so free and generated an image that depicts a landmark in our hometown. The “hellbrunn” castle. (please note, it is not shown 1 to 1.) . But what is it supposed to show? Times are changing. At the time the Archdiocese of Salzburg still existed, it was an ecclesiastical principality and was rich and powerful. . Today #salzburg is part of #austria ➡️ What remains is this landmark, a reminder that life is like a board game. You make moves, use your resources and in the end you decide whether it was good or not 🤷🏻 . Hey, new round has started 😜 good luck for that 🙌 . . . #boardgame #rauccius #boardgamegeek #tabletopgames #boardgamesofinstagram #juegosdemesa #boardgamer #boardgameaddict #jeuxdesociete #gaming #boardgaming #games #ai #aiart #settlersofcatan #brettspiele

👋😅 Hello it is me 😅👋 Maybe you can remember? 🤔🤣 . We've been a bit inactive lately 🙈 a lot has happened... My little boy keeps me busy 🤷🏻 now 10 months old and already busy crawling 😅😅 . Oh yes and I got married - again 😅 after my wife (@mylady_sunflower ) and I got married in a civil ceremony in 2020, we now got married in church 💪 of course with a big celebration 🤭😎 . I actually wanted to #write about honeymoons. In the #vineyards in #france 😅 It's autumn, the grape harvest has begun I wanted to write that I would think it would be nice to #honeymoon there 🙈 because a big trip with our 10-month-old whirlwind isn't that easy yet 😅 the plan was Japan - but life cames through it - in a #good way 😊 . Well, that's why I created pictures of board games in France using AI... Unfortunately I can't decide which one I should take 🤔😅 so you'll get to see them all 🤷🏻😝 . Setting is: #boardgame evening in France, romantic 😅 . Ok - Which one do you like the most? 🤔😅😅 . In any case - we're back 💪💪😝😝 . . . #boardgames #rauccius #boardgamegeek #tabletopgames #boardgamesofinstagram #juegosdemesa #boardgamer #boardgameaddict #jeuxdesociete #gaming #boardgaming #brettspiele #games #cool
