Crazy timing! That slingshot gesture looks so smooth too!

I did consider discarding a domino to go last, however this still requires tracking rounds and in 3/4 player games dominoes become VERY valuable (5/6 played per player per game). If there are any other turn order variations I should try I'd love to hear them! 6/6 🎲✂

I tried changing order based on the first player to place an invest cube in a round but keeping track of the rounds is a bit fiddly with the simplicity and speed of the game. I also tried highest domino in a round goes last but it has the same problem. 5/6

I've also considered alternating who goes last in a turn throughout the game but given the inherent simplicity of the game, any change to the turn order that I've tried, makes the game become unwieldy. 4/4 Simply moving the turn order one to the left each round doesn't work in 2/4 player games. 4/6

other players moves. The fix I'm testing is to give the last player in turn order one less domino which means they don't necessarily replace other players' last moves. This has been an interesting change in 2 player games. I still need to test it in 3-4 player games. 3/6

I'm testing one minor rule change for balance. Previously all players received the same number of dominoes and would end the game with at least 2 dominoes in hand. Because of the fixed turn structure, it can feel like the last player has a distinct advantage as they're always replacing... 2/6

You might notice that the jam actually runs for a bit more than 12 days. This allows participants time to catch up if life gets in the way. The jam is named for its sibling jam, the 12 Days of Sketchmas Game Jam, which runs over the winter holidays!

We also have a video of a complete "Basic" game where players are assigned regional cards and place dominoes to plan out the city renovation. We are looking for a more thematic name for this mode. If you have any suggestions let us know! youtube.com/shorts/MoCTc...

Since Screentop.gg is the most common digital playtesting platform at our conventions, there’s no need to buy any software to come and play a ton of fun and interesting unpublished games.🙌

Plus, Playtester badges are only $10 during the early bird discount!

Yay! Thanks so much! 😁

Hey it would also help if you gave a follow on the Domino City pre-launch page! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dre...

Thus the idea for the 3 layer design.

I would like to keep the game small-box sized which limits the board size a bit. To keep the symbols and the indents I would have to place them in the indents, making them small and hard to see unless right above the board or I could remove the indents & have the cubes float on the board surface.

The idea is that the basic mode is a lighter play for younger kids or less experienced players, with less determinism and some guessing. The Free Market mode is the meatier version of the game with more choices to make.
