Confusing Lands

It seems like there's something broken with the page--is there no download button? I can't find any links to the actual files.

I really like the game.

I was a bit hesitant because it's not 0-ink but really don't regret building it.

The simple and clean gameplay works perfectly, in my small experience of games where you build landscapes with objectives I may like the way this game works the best, it's really clever. Negative points, straight 2 player drafting, potentially one objective a turn and being overwhelmed by an objective coming during each turn, take it now or never, objectives literally getting on the way, I love this one ... I'll stop describing your own game to yourself :). The conditions are "orthogonal" enough to each other that you'll get to create many different combinations which is all the point, and anyway they feel fresh enough although they might actually not be, I guess another game would not have that much of a different set of conditions, but the entire package does feel fresh.

Since the topic was already raised, Valley Guardian was also the only confusing condition to us, we had little idea how it works, since it's a shared feeling it might be worth rewording it. The funny part is that when translating it I actually specified "separated by moutains" but we still played as if rivers, especially, were separator too, for example. I am not sure why we overinterpret "connected" for this one.

You can ignore all this babbling, the main plot of this post was :

Big thanks for sharing the game!

Just wanted to come back and say how much we're still enjoying this game! We've played it about 25 times over the last few weeks. Everyone I introduce it to loves it. (highest score is 39, so proud!) 

Would love to see expansions. Or even re-skins (I love your art style). I can imagine a Christmas themed one with gingerbread houses, snowy landscapes, deer with the occasional red nose! 

Thanks again Zak.  Hope you find a publisher!

Really enjoyed playing this (3 games back to back) It would be lovely to have the rules and player aids reformated to fold into a card size so they'll fit into a small box with the cards (please!)

We weren't clear on the rules for a couple of things, Valley of the Guardians - what decides if things are connected? Do mountain and rivers separate areas? Close neighbours - seems very unlikely to score more than 9/12 on this, so a net gain of -1 or 2 points makes it undesirable to choose. Maybe 2 points per square works better? Land of plenty -   do you lose 10 points before scoring it too? 

Thanks for a beautiful game!

Today i played my first game with my brother and liked it a lot. Congratulations for your game. You should upload it to Boardgamegeek database. I'm sure more people will discover your work there :)

Looks awesome. I might try to import this into tabletop simulator to play with my partner online!
