Balancing Item Stats

Context

Created the special abilities and weapon options available to players, refining them continuously to support well-tuned gameplay.

Highlight

Each ability and weapon is tied to stats that affect movement per turn, damage output, health recovery, or attack range. Reviewing gameplay sessions and gathering player feedback played a key role in adjusting these values, offering guidance on which elements needed rebalancing.

Please refer to the image above for a visual reference. The top four tiles display the full set of special abilities along with instructions for use. Beneath them are the six available weapon types, each presented with its corresponding stats.

Blood Gems

Context

Establishing the essence of a traditional Capture the Flag mode within a board game format.

Highlight

Two teams compete with an identical goal: infiltrate the opposing base, retrieve the enemy flag, and return it safely to their own side. A win is only recorded if theirs remains at base when the enemy’s is delivered.

Invite

Please refer to the image above for a visual reference. It displays the two flag designs, known in the game’s universe as blood gems.

Inflicting Damage

Context

Introduced a distinct dexterity-based mechanic as the core method for executing attacks.

Highlight

To determine the amount of health lost, the player rolls a die into the target engager reticle. Landing in the centre results in an instant elimination. Two surrounding rings apply damage multipliers. If the die lands outside these zones, the attack misses entirely.

Invite

Please refer to the image above for a visual reference. The die shows a six and landed on a double damage ring, which deducts a total of twelve health points from the target.

Participants

Context

Determining the number of players allowed to participate in each match.

Highlight

Each match supports two to six participants, split evenly between two teams. Coordination is crucial, as moving units across the map demands ongoing tactical assessment and clear communication.

Invite

Please refer to the image above for a visual reference. The cubes shown represent each player’s soldier. Black pieces belong to one team, and white to the other. Each is marked with a number to help players identify which unit they are controlling.

Player Choice

Context

Designing a variety of decision-making scenarios to give players a sense of agency and encourage replayability.

Highlight

Random item and weapon spawns continuously introduced new variables, prompting players to reassess their strategies and adjust their next moves accordingly.

Invite

Please refer to the image above for a visual reference. This example represents just one of many observed outcomes. The white cube, symbolizing a soldier, is positioned at a crossroads. The player must decide whether to play defensively by retreating to collect either the short-range shotgun located above, or the healing capsule to the left. Alternatively, a more offensive approach such as attacking the adjacent black cube may be more suitable. These decisions may depend on previous developments—perhaps their current weapon isn’t strong enough, or their health is low. If they aren’t encumbered by what they’re already carrying, they might even be able to grab both items before turning on their opponent.
