It’s been a long time, and yet after so many years, I finally have realised a material and real version of a game that I designed. No longer bound on print-to-play ethos or using meeples as placeholders, and I did it – for a friend.
Behold good nerdfolk, my chums and I are playing ‘Nick & Francis’ (an in-joke), a deck-builder not dissimilar to Dominion, but obviously so much better!
It was, if I might say, a rather big success!
We played for about an hour and everyone had a good time (or at least were laughing though their suffering…). It played smoothly with only a few and minor moments of confusion and we found a pleasing resolution when my chum Nick won the game!
Now that I have a reliable and not expensive solution to print good quality cards, I may be unstoppable.
If I can talk with Nick & Francis about licencing, perhaps this may get released as is. If that doesn’t come to pass, a little editing means I can find a way to sell this to anyone interested!
