TOMB- Alternative/Advanced Rules. 01/04.

[justjohn]

I've uplaoded it to a new server, and will be sending out a new msg with the new link to everyone I sent it to yesterday, as well as the few new faces willing to playtest.

Thanks again for everyone's interest in this!

I want to try it out, I have plenty of spare time and would love a new game to play.

[Taelord]

I am really interested in this game. Sign me up.

I'd be happy to help out too (I've playtested for the likes of Reiner Knizia and Martin Wallace in the past, if that's any help).

Rules Update:

To those playtesting:
There is an issue that has come up. If you are playing, and run out of places to play TOMB tiles, you may use the rules for "Digging Out"

Also, each player may explore a Scarab space, as long as THAT player's marker isn't on it. (Example: Debbie is Yellow and Dan is Red. Debbie explores a scarab space and places a yellow player marker on that space. Dan can still explore that space.)

You can only play TOMB tiles at the very beginning of your turn, before moving, AND if you are on a space that you could play a tomb tile off of. Playing TOMB tiles IS optional (although I don't know why someone wouldn't play one)

Thanks again to everyone who has shown interest in playtesting this. If you requested to playtest yesterday or this morning, I'll get you the info here in just a bit.

I am going to Kinkos to print it out this afternoon and hope to get some playing in during this week. I will let you know how it goes.

[Cavalier]

downloaded this morning and took a quick gander at the pieces and ruleset. I'm even MORE interested now

I'll be getting this bad boy printed up and get some game time in with it early this week I hope

Okay, now that is something I never realized at all!

Just looked over the pdf's today. Looks real sharp! Should be able to print it up and play a few games tommorow evening.
Thanks for sharing this!

Yep. That's why there are different colored player markers instead of just having a generic marker all players used. I don't think games would ever finish if only 1 player could ever explore a single scarab space for the duration of the game. Plus, in the games we've played, it makes for a nice little scurry to get to the other player's explored scarabs and then exploring where they left off as they headed off to explore the ones you had explored.

If it isn´t to late, I would love to be a playtester,

sounds fun and I have time on my hands, plus a few friends I can talk into it. Plus you can say you have international playtesters, I am in Costa Rica!
