Layoff day eight: board game mechanics vs. meaning/story


I continue to create parts for the board game mock-up. Strategy games have a unique ability to cover complex and detailed concepts. From my experience in game play these are generally overshadowed by mechanics (a point is a point no matter the story line). Hopefully I will find a balance. Will my game be meaningful? or more importantly transformational? Both great (big) goals.
