General / cardboard upgraded to wood
« on: February 23, 2014, 09:49:11 AM »
I thought all that cardboard on the playing field made things confusing.
You should be able to see everything what's going on on the board in the blink of an eye. Or at least don't overlook things easily.
there for I changed some elements of the game from cardboard to wood.
I replaced castles, little buildings (houses), tunnel chips, the phantom and the teacher.
The teacher doesn't really count I suppose because it came already as an wooden figure in some packs of the school,
of course I was lucky enough to get that acryl phantom looking teacher instead of the nice wooden one But it's wood now so no crying.
All neutral pieces like little buildings (houses) and castles I replaced with white wooden pieces because white isn't a standard color,
and let's be honest even if you added white pieces to your collection how many times you got that many players around the table?
And it isn't that easy to find all parts you want in a certain color so that's why it's white I preferred brown myself because of the towers and bridges.
The phantom I didn't even buy because I disliked the plastic that much but I found something in each color that did the trick.
Tunnels got changed right away to because of the red chips with the plague, maybe not nessecary, now the tiny things won't get lost I tell myself.
Here some pictures (if I did it right) IN ANOTHER TOPIC WAS TO BIG
I did not replace the cardboard of the plague, because of confusing with the player red, and more importantly you would have to sticker them or write on them because of their different sides.
I was thinking about a pink pig for the pigs on the river tile, we sometime forget to count those so that would make it easier to remember.
And I'm not sure what to do with the new expansion shepard and hills (maybe not correct translation).
You still need the sheep and wolf to make an honest draw, but I already looked at wooden white sheep and found them. But will the board be getting to crowded then? The wolf is optional because it would never come on the board anyway. Maybe I just have to go with the cardboard like the plague, don't know yet.
And the cardboard from the catapult expansion, well every word you say about that one is a complete waste of your time.
I Just us the tiles it has some nice roads in it. The catapult itself is banned to the box with spare parts and things of the original game what i can't stand nor trow away.
