All are welcome to chime in, talk about their favorite games or learn about gaming of any sort.

That's cool. I was actually thinking about Loom (the game) and this, and somehow using the jewelry to activate or play music, or add new musical sequences to your inventory.
Hec, are you looking for a game for the pitch, but not as part of the actual toy when it's marketed? Or are you looking for something that could be the actual play, but is used as as example for the pitch?
Also, Rule #1 of Game Design is: what behavior do you want to incentivize?
- Physically making jewelry
- Buying pre-made pieces
- Learning to code
- Learning math theory
- Playing cooperatively
- Playing competitively
- In-game purchases
- Recruiting friends to buy the toy
Insent a longer letter - if you need/want help fleshing out a game, let me know!
That's super helpful, Raq.

Heads up, we'll probably start up the second game in a day or so. There's room for one more if anyone wants to sign up; if not, we'll go ahead with three.
RftG
I'll give it a shot. er.. prepare for launch.
RftG
I'll be curious to see if I can go Evil Empire again.

We are almost ready to start! Our players for this game are:
- omnis_audis
- Connie Neil
- chrismg
- Laga
I've shuffled and dealt out the starting worlds; this game, we have:
Epsilon Eridani: chrismg
Alpha Centauri: omnis
New Sparta: Laga
Earth's Lost Colony: Connie Neil
Two questions. First, in the first game I referred to players by their board name. Would anyone prefer I used a different moniker? Second, in the Round summaries, I show everyone's layout value and the VPs they've earned through consumption. There's one last piece to the score, namely the value of 6-cost developments. I've set things up to calculate that automatically (to make my life easier). Do you want me to include that running total in the Round summaries as well? If I do, then it becomes very easy to work out everyone's scores at any point.
In the meantime, I'll send everyone their starting hand. We are using the predetermined starting hands again, which can be seen here: [link] You can look at that to see what everyone else has in their hand if you wish. Once all the cards have gone out, we can begin!
RFTG
Do you want me to include that running total in the Round summaries as well?
Yes please.
I'm fine with board name. If that's too much typing, you can use BC. Doesn't matter to me. As long as you don't call me late for dinner.
RFTG
I'm good with board name, and I like seeing the totals.
RFTG
I am Laga, Laga is me. I don't have an opinion on running totals.
