Howdy all,
I'm currently working on creating a board game and ran into an issue. Since I know theres a lot of board game players on this forum I wondering if anyone had any tips.
I've run into an issue deciding where to place information on my cards. Currently were putting the attacks and attack information on one side (range, element, damage, and effects). On the other side is the name of the monster, type of monster, picture of monster, its strengths, it weaknesses, strength, health, speed, and rareness.
My question is whether I should keep it the way it is or put it all on one side. The benefit of keeping it the way it is, is space and the fact that the attacks are facing the player, so they dont have to keep looking at the front. The problem is that it takes away the random encounter factor because you can see the attacks and such on the back of the card sitting in the card stack.
So would it be too much trouble for the player to have to reference the front of the card for the attacks all the time?
(Cards are standing up in a stand in the game and this can not be changed. Currently the side with the attacks would face the player who owns it. If we switched it the attacks would be facing the opponent and no information would be facing the player who owns the card)
