Week 4

After undergoing a round of playtesting, in which we received a considerable amount feedback, our group decided to make several changes to our board game. However, most of these changes were minor and did not require us to change the core mechanics of our game.

For example, during playtesting, we noticed that certain action cards were being drawn too often , were too overpowered, or were being used incorrectly. Thus, most of the changes we made were in the cards, whether it was reducing the amount or editing the actions they could perform.

Specifically, we decided to completely eliminate the crop cards because we felt that it had no significant role in the game and reduce the amount of barter cards down to three. We also decided to add a total of seven cards to the Banner-men and Village Raid cards, which are cards that allow you to "attack" other players, and edited their actions.  As a result, we reduced our total card deck from 73 cards to 69 cards. Other changes were made to the costs of cards and certain actions.
