Essence - Initial Playtesting (Patreon)

Okay, be honest. What do you think of the name "Essence" for a Board game? 

The simplicity is cool, but there's been feedback that it sounds too.. cosmetic? 

Oh, and check out some pics from the first playtests!

You can see the game board, playing cards, and players' kiosks start to take form. 

Had to improvise game pieces a bit - it's a good thing my grandpa is the ultimate hoarder of knick knacks.  5 minutes into Playtesting we found that our numbers were way off and the game was grossly imbalanced, but a little tweaking here and there and we got to a playable place pretty quick lol! 

In response to this playtesting - the rulebook is rounding into form nicely! We'll probably drop a draft in a few weeks once we've hashed everything out.
