Okay, so it's time to talk a little bit about the game I am designing. The idea is that players have been provided land by the government in the west (during the Wild West time frame) to build a new settlement/town. Over the course of the next 3 years, players are constructing buildings and bringing new people to their towns to create the best town in the area.
So on to the game play. The game is divided into 3 rounds (years). Each round, players start with a hand of building cards and a number of citizens (determined by year). For 5 turns (each turn = 2 months), players will pick one of the building cards and then pass the remainder to their neighbor for the next turn. Players then do 1 of 2 actions with the chosen card: place it into their town to be built, or discard it for a temporary citizen that stays for the remainder of the year. At this point, players place their citizens into one of a number of locations: resource locations (Forest = wood, Quarry = stone, Gold Mine = gold, Hunter = Food), building cards to be built (each building card requires time to be built in addition to other resource costs), or onto ability spots of already built buildings. Following worker placement, all workers are resolved, and the turn is completed. Following the last turn of each year, players are required to feed all of their citizens (including temporary), or lose points.
That is the overview of the game. If anyone wants more specifics, let me know. For those who do not live nearby that are interested in playing the game, also let me know, so that I can send you a print and play version when I get a few more things nailed down (hopefully not too long after the new year begins).
