112th day - 253 days to come
Finished the cards for HIGH FINANCE. Played with BB & Dale. Needed some refinements. Removed the "forced purchase" cards and two "Purchase order" cards and replaced them with more financing. Played with Dana, Chris, & BB & then with BB alone. Then decided to make a few more changes, particularly changing the symbols on the lower "financing cards" to three different instead of six.
Looked at MILLES BORNES and I think that HIGH FINANCE is better. They have a scoring system & I started thinking of one for my game.
At Korvette's saw CHICKEN OUT (Ideal - I think). There is a board with a number of independent short paths. There is a spinner in the shape of a chicken. The paths have scoring values which get bigger towards the end. The paths are traveled one at a time. Movement is by spin of the chicken spinner. Players can keep on moving, trying for a high score. But if they overshoot the end they no score.
