After yet another month of testing and tweaking, QUBQST is very, very close to completion!
With 36 dice requiring 216 stickers to be applied, there is a lot of initial set-up, so we have put together a sticker guide. As this will only be used once, we will make it available free on the GameCrafter website (rather than add this to the game documents which would up the price!).
The game instructions have been distilled to 2 sides of A4, plus further details on the useful Quick Cards for reference during the game.
But the hardest part has been testing enough to get the score ranking right. There seems to be an average score range, of between 10 and 20, but we are developing a computer program to test what the sensible maximum scores could be. One of the first outputs from this was that we found there were 60,466,176 different possible configurations for the basic layout of the game! And that is just the layout, before determining what creatures are encountered!
We estimate another full month of testing before this goes live on the GameCrafter!
