Clarity Updates & Game Text Improvements

DESTRUCTO-BALL
A downloadable sporty microgame

Hi, friends!

I’ve made some improvements based on feedback I have gathered while playtesting DESTRUCTO-BALL in “no-instruction playtest sessions” (sessions where new players have to read the rules and play the game with NO input from me until the end of the game). And oh goodness were there some doozies! Now, the game should be even more straightforward to play!

  • Added text that mentions that you need a token to represent the ball.
  • The game now only mentions “the” ball, and not “your” ball, to infer that there is only ONE ball in the game and not one per player! (Oh, the fun that happens while playtesting! 😂)
  • Added a way to decide who goes first.
  • Improved consistency in some of the inconsistent game text.
  • Added some flavour text above the rules text.
  • Cleaned up the Flight Distance table to make it a bit easier to read and understand.

Do feel free to share any feedback you’ve got, as I’m always trying to improve my games, and feedback often lets me see things I may have missed, or see the game from a perspective other than my own. So, let me know! 💖

And that’s all for now, friends.

Happy sporting! 🥰⚽
