As I threatened earlier this week, I’ve actually put together a rough draft of the Spider Siege game board.
And I do mean rough draft. Even as I was laying this thing out, I saw where some resources might be better off somewhere else, and realized the board needed another river or body of water. I’ll probably run with this map at least once just to make sure the mechanics don’t burst into flame when touched by human hands, but after that I expect to be making lots of changes.
That’s the point of prototyping, by the way. It’s a lot easier to modify a thing than an idea. Staring at a blank slate and pondering all the factors is a great start, but the sooner you start filling that slate with playable stuff, the better.
