Making the game fun - Post 4

Encounters Over Basel
A downloadable game

So this is really the hardest part for me is figuring out what is fun. I know I need folks to test the game, but with a game jam and the nature of a boardgame it's kinda hard. I haven't hit what I would call "fun" for myself with it. I seem to have this issue where the game stagnates in this back and forth between the city health and the orb health. I realize this is probably just the nature of it being random and using odd and even numbers, everything is too balanced so nothing really has an advantage.

I have updates to the playing board with  cards and play pieces split to a separate area that can be cut out.

I do think the board in the middle of the game where you must keep moving will help with that, but not sure how much, going to play some tonight and see :)
