The second optional branch: The Brass Quarter

Just as with the previous missions, this one is still in its gray-box form. If the term gray-box is new to you what this means is the game is playable and ready for playtesting but the graphics are not done. The graphics used are just place holders. The illustration will happen after the playtesting is complete and we are sure of our design. This is where you can download the second two optional missions. With these two optional missions there are eight (8) total. To clarify, the main quest story-line has 6 missions and there are 2 optional missions.

This is a print and play version of the game. After you download the zip file then print the cards (both sides, turn on the short end), cut the cards apart, and assemble the deck. The rules of play are included in the deck so just follow what they say. There will be some blank cards that were used as spacers in the card files. Keep these extra cards. You will be happy you have them later.

The playest on June 6th revealed that this mission took about 10 minutes to set up and about 20 minutes to play. This was the first mission where we did not set up the grid but started to place the deck in a pile and use a discard pile for the main story line. I also discovered that I need to add an “anchor” icon to the item cards and that the vibe cards need a numerical score. I haven’t yet added these features but that will be on the next iteration. The version that you are downloading here does not have those features added yet.
