I've also got half a mind to add King of Tokyo-style power cards that can be purchased with points, but that's a whole other can of worms.DanielSolisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-80983298052888627072013-04-05T15:20:23.361-04:002013-04-05T15:20:23.361-04:00Check out the video, but I wouldn't worry abou...Check out the video, but I wouldn't worry about it. Your theme is a better match, you have different requirements for cube placement, no larger rounds, you have resource managements (of chefs) etc. etc. It is just similar enough that people who enjoy Ra:tdg will probably also like this. (Which is why I think my wife will be willing to give it a go.)jcdietrichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-52208552922813934542013-04-05T15:07:47.620-04:002013-04-05T15:07:47.620-04:00HM!

I imagine if the board were laid out like a restaurant floorplan as described in the other thread, the similarities would hopefully not be so obvious. I'll check out a video tutorial for Ra and be sure though.

I see the three-tops being on the far left of the board, with each place setting on the table having a 1, 2, or 3. The two-tops would be the booths for couples, each of those place settings having 3 or 4. The far right is the ramen counter, for single patrons. The adjacency bonus means you've personally served the diners at that table. It's literally first come, first *to* serve.

(probably need a different layout) Then you could have the table of three seats offer 3 scoring positions (2 adjacent seats) and it could be explained in the theme as generating positive buzz, which will encourage repeat business.jcdietrichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-83115205145862346412013-04-05T11:46:29.953-04:002013-04-05T11:46:29.953-04:00That's something I'd like to figure out if...That's something I'd like to figure out if we pursue this further! Mechanically it's a nice balancing act against the high-value sets, but thematically it doesn't have a compelling reason to be there. I've considered making the big board just one restaurant, with each circle representing one table of diners. That still doesn't explain why certain columns of tables would be segregated by their preferences, nor why adjacency would be rewarded.DanielSolisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-21116094374379130042013-04-05T11:42:46.053-04:002013-04-05T11:42:46.053-04:00Is there a "theme reason" for the endgam...Is there a "theme reason" for the endgame bonus.
