I decided to freeze the action phase changes for iteration 3.5.
The structure is cleaner now: unified locations, fewer exceptions, and up to 3 actions per move.
I’m currently solo-testing it as five players, while shifting design work to the entertainment phase.
Goal: more tactical competition for characters, more player interaction, and better tempo.#BoardGameDesign #GameDesign #TabletopGames #HistoricalGames #WIP

Small Congress scandal: at the opening ball of the Congress of Vienna, rumour had it that a quarter of the 10,000 silver teaspoons bearing the imperial crest quietly disappeared into the crowd.
I would treat this more as a perfect Congress anecdote than a precise inventory report — but honestly, that makes it even better.
Diplomacy, spectacle, gossip… and apparently a few unofficial souvenirs.#History #CongressOfVienna #Vienna1814 #HistoricalGames #BoardGameDesign #WanderingPine
