My experience at the recent Unpub 3 event in Delaware was AWESOME! I got to meet a lot of people – designers and publishers. I wasn’t completely prepared for the event with my demo of On the Crab and Mill City, but it was still awesome. I got to play a lot of great games and provided as much feedback as I could. On the Crab and Mill City got a three plays each with positive feedback for both. The event was certainly memorable. I am juiced enough to try to organize a mini-pub here in Northern VA and would like to help John out with Unpub 4.
Let’s see what happens.
On the Crab is going through an overhaul with the goal of “focusing” on the core mechanics. Mill City was designed in two weeks for a design contest and performed well. The original concept for the game was based on a visit to Minnesota, and was originally supposed to incorporate the saw and flour mill economy around the St. Anthony’s Falls.
Thanks to all of the designers and players who provided feedback.
