In the SPI Central Front series : does the friction point mechanic work well ?

I like the idea of units degrading and losing cohesion. Does it work in actual gameplay tho ?

Thanks.

Printing out a play test prototype is always exciting : does this layout look too busy ?

A card driven solitaire wargame. I used my Cricut machine to plot out the playmat. Unfortunately I printed up the cards and they didn’t format correctly( I know what the problem is abd it’s fixed ) . But it was still fun to play test my concept. The colours are just to differentiate different stages as a mnemonic for me. Do playmates need dedicated discard piles ? Would putting discards in the bottom of each pile be better ?

For testing card games. Is a python script or spreadsheet program the best ?

Hi. I’m working on card driven wargame ideas I’ve had for 15 years as I’m laid up injured. To test card % etc I know how to run that , it’s basic math. Once you get into hand draw composition and then draw rates I can do that too. However once you step into card % abd game mechanics , is the best way a python / spreadsheet method ? I don’t feel like running 1000s of hands and outcomes either a light concussion. ( or even without the TBI )

Thanks. For any insight. I guess AI could ?

Do any of you play old school map and counter ( non-mini ) wargames ?

I’m working on some solitaire passion products and was curious if anyone here plays them or is this sub for the cool miniature based games only. I played 40k and Horus heresy but got priced out unfortunately by the rising costs. Plus covid killed our local game community. Literally ( 2 guys died )

Is the game crafter the best print on demand site ?

I’ve been working on some solitaire wargame projects for years. Finally had a chance to sit down and get them to a decent level. Right now I’m using a self printed plates prototype for each. Is the game crafter a good place to get cards / mats and such made ? I’d like to have my game in my hands with professional grade components , plus of course others could too. Thanks

Are there any solo wargamers here ?

Hi I’m designing some solitaire wargames. And was wondering if there are many of us here into historical games that are war based ? I’d be asking questions and looking for feedback on theme / mechanics etc. thanks
