I have no idea what I am doing but I am enjoying making my own game 3 meeples are moving around a board and you get cards to upgrade the board. Sometimes you get 4 peeps and I even managed to get 5 at 1 point Go team Green you can get the most points!!!

I wish I could give this game a "mid" rating to properly rate how I feel, as I am torn. I almost wonder if it would be better for me to not leave this review, but I do see potential in this game and I want to share my thoughts. TLDR: The game is unpolished and explains nothing, but there is enough of an idea to be fun for at least a little bit. Give the game a try for an hour, and refund it if you don't like it. On the one hand, the game has very rough presentation and makes no attempt at explaining how any of the mechanics work. For example, I have no idea what a "Servant" is or how that keyword activates during gameplay. The game was also not clear on what the various types of currency did, there were just some units and artifacts that could accumulate them, sometimes. One particular mechanic to remove units on the board was particularly unclear, during my first run I though my game was bugged because i could not remove any units, but turns out you need to start your run with a rule that allows you to gain "Removals" as a resource. Only through gaining this Removal resource can you free up space on the board by removing older weaker units. I found this out during my second run. That all being said, the game itself isn't a bad idea. Building a board units that combo off one another in a similar way to assembling matching properties in a Monoply is a good hook. I could see this game being quite fun with short tutorial to explain the basics, give the game a funky little background tune, some bouncy idle animations and a couple particle effects, etc. Adding a little bit of flare and some clarity on what the game's mechanics do would go a long way to make this feel like a final product. As is though, the game does feel incomplete, lacking the polish of a full release. It is a functional game, and even a fun one if you like figuring out basic mechanics through trial and error (yes that can be fun too!), but it isn't a complete package.
