Title: Christmas giveaway - Find the name of our next game
Post by: Jimmy V. on 05/12/16, 02:30pm
It is Christmas time. Let us play a little game and earn some Magic Potion!

The first person to name our next game will earn 1 month of Magic Potion! Yes 1 month of Magic Potion!

But that's not all, any person who asks an interesting question (a question that helps us get closer to the the solution) will also be rewarded with Magic Potion or Gold. Just be aware that we can only reply Yes or No to your questions. So don't ask the color of the box or the number of letters in the title.

Ready to play? Let's go!

PS: only one rule, you can ask two questions in a row or make two propositions in a row! You need to wait for another player to post another question/proposition before asking again. This is just to avoid flooding by one player.

Hello,

Is the future game the name of a city ?

I think at Jaipur, is it that ?

Thanx
Title: Re: Christmas giveaway - Find the name of our next game
Post by: Jimmy V. on 05/12/16, 05:12pm
Yes indeed, the name of the game is the name of a city.

But no it is not Jaipur.

From now on, you are not allowed to ask one question or propose a new name for the game if someone else has not posted another proposal after you (just to avoid flooding of one person). So Laurent please wait until someone else posts before giving it another try.

300 extra coins for you. This was a very good question.

Cartagena? It fits perfectly to Happy Meeple.

If not: Has the author published more than 10 games?
Title: Re: Christmas giveaway - Find the name of our next game
Post by: Jimmy V. on 06/12/16, 09:53am
Is it a french city ?
No.

So it is not Troyes.
Title: Re: Christmas giveaway - Find the name of our next game
Post by: Jimmy V. on 06/12/16, 09:56am
Yes Cartagena fits perfectly Happy Meeple, but it is not the right answer Hartmut.

Yes the game designer of our next game has published more than 10 games.

But wait are Happymeeple game designers allowed to participate in this giveaway? You know you can have as many coins and Magic Potion as you like Hartmut, you are our guest here :)!

No Catan is not the answer.
Extra clue: all Happy Meeple games are quick-playing games. The one you are looking for is no exception.

Is it Glastonbury?
Title: And the winner is
Post by: Jimmy V. on 06/12/16, 04:07pm
And the winner is Guest123468!

Indeed our next game will be Glastonbury, a very nice set-collection game where you play the role of wizards trying to gather ingredients for their cauldron.

Wizard moves around a 6x6 grid to pick ingredient cards. Those cards do 2 things: 1) they are useful to score points as ingredients need to be collected and 2) the ingredient value indicates the number of squares you will move next time. So sometimes you will be able to pick a good ingredient but that will lead you to the wrong place for next move. This is the basics of the game, but a few other extras make it even more fun.

We look forward to releasing Glastonbury. At that point, the game is working on our machines and I could even play it online for the first time with the publisher yesterday. Now we have to start working on the Artificial Intelligence. It is always the most difficult part.

See you soon! Congratulations to our winner! And thanks to all who helped find the game. That was fun!
