The Meridian Grid play-test

Dinosaurs Are Better

An online play-test for a board game I have been designing.

This is an experiment to see if a strategy computer game design idea I had would work as a board game adaptation. To test the game rules, pacing and balancing, I created an online playable version of it, making this a computer game adaptation of a board game adaptation of a computer game.

The objective

Race to complete a continuous chain of conquered hexes from your starting settlement to a settlement at the opposite side of the board. The first player to connect corner to exit edge wins.

The game is all about outfitting expedition teams to survey the alien planet and managing your settlements. The end-game turns into an all out war when you try to keep your path connected while simultaneously punching holes into the enemy fortifications!

Join the play-test!

I would appreciate if you had the time to play a couple of test rounds! The game has a feedback button so you can send me your opinion on the game.
