This is incredible, I’ll be making brains in jars and giving them out along with this game booklet at my friend’s Halloween party this year! Some notes and criticism below, I’d love an update/response to address these:
- The Awakened section has two typos: “nver” and “Torubled”.
- I know the tiny booklet gives very little space to work with, but I feel that the Brain Fog mechanic could be a bit better explained in the rules. I had to re-read a few times and even re-watch your video to understand that clearing brain fog is only temporary for that day, and the permanent fog amount increases by one with each passing day.
- A YouTube comment explained this before me, but going from 5 dice to 4 dice absolutely plummets your chances at successfully rolling two equal pairs. I think a simple solution that could be squeezed into the rules without much hassle would be halving the wait time to 30 minutes when your Brain is troubled, allowing for a decent chance to save your Brain from awakening but requiring some extra maintenance to do so. Then returning to the usual 1 hour wait time once it awakens, to make sure it doesn’t suffer too long.
