remember: your end game score is the one of your lowest color.
the reveal at the end is SUSPENSEFUL to say the least!
the rules emphasizes that a few times such as p.7:
Code: Select all
Victory points are gained immediately when a tile is placed. They are kept hidden behind the players’ screens., and (still on the FFG) rulebook p.9 it goes on as far as to dedicate an insert all about HIDDEN INFORMATION that I'll copy/paste here:
Code: Select all
1) All victory point and treasure tokens gained and tiles behind a player’s screen are hidden information; they are kept secret from other players until scoring.
2) The number of tiles in the bag is hidden information; players cannot deliberately count the tiles in the bag.
3) Tiles that are removed from the game are hidden information; they are kept facedown in the box and cannot be viewed by any player.I think 3) is fine (didn't look into it tbh).
but the Triqqy's in-game "STATS tab" in this game is just killing rules 1) and 2) above!!!
we know EACH color detailed victory points and treasures for all players! (we should only be able to see ours, until the game ends, where all can be revealed).
right below (still in the STATS tab) we know the exact number of tiles left in the bag!!! (the idea behind rule #2 is for a player not to know when a game will/can end, but rather have a raw guess at how much there still is in the bag: it impacts greatly your actions if you know exactly the number of tiles left so you can prevent a player from having one or two extra turns! in real life, not knowing make you try to do some cool/smart moves about it, but with a possibility that it backfires and that your assumption/feeling was totally off... which is a good thing).
SO, some hiding in this STATS tab could go a long way to get those essentials rules right and deliver the full experience the real board game provides.
yet, great job all in all!
