Here's a link to the actual rules for each game. Not the finished form with color cover and QRS cards, but the base rules.

Are there any rule changes to the board game Charioteer vs the original? Just the guts - that would certainly be appropriate for Casino Carnage.  I've downloaded and started looking over these, and I love what I'm seeing here so far. There appears to be potential for back-and-forth integration between the board game rules and components with the full rules, which I find really exciting; but I'll be able to determine that better once the physical copy arrives. |

Yes, I've looked over them and can see how easy it would be to introduce elements from previous titles, especially 5150 Back Alleys, Bright Lights as I think I am going to do this first. The attraction to me of the kickstarter games were they are stripped back to what was essential to get a good narrative, so will be running a game unchanged. At least the first time anyway :-)

The attraction to me of the kickstarter games were they are stripped back to what was essential to get a good narrative, so will be running a game unchanged. At least the first time anyway :-) I'll definitely start playing these titles myself Rules As Written (R.A.W.) as well. I enjoy playing Weird War Zed, which has a similar design style in that it includes cards you cut out to represent both your forces and the NPCs you run into, and you just need the rule book, the included cards, dice, and a scratch pad for tracking time and clues. The game is a rapid succession of encounters and has a very streamlined rule set, but it's complete engrossing and addicting. In a similar fashion, these titles allow you to be able to set up and play quickly with everything you need except for d6 (which I have a ton of, anyway). These games would be great for lunch breaks, though I can't actually do that myself due to the way I have to take my own lunch breaks. There may be opportunities to add variety by incorporating something found from the full rules into the games. I would equate the full rules to be like a spice rack, where I would only want to sprinkle one or two spices at a time into the Kickstarter titles for variety, not turn these condensed titles into the full-blown version. I'll have to play the titles R.A.W. first to see if I would even want to do that. I haven't yet tweaked anything in Weird War Zed, so it might be more of a fantasy than a reality for me. |

Are there any rule changes to the board game Charioteer vs the original? Yes, smoother and less die rolling. Check out the preview of the rules. |
