First Playtest & Upcoming Changes


Six days after launch, I'm in awe of how many of you have downloaded (and donated) for Bake Off's initial alpha version. Here are my design notes after initial 2 playtest runs and the future development of Bake Off.

Playtests

The initial design for Bake Off has been proven to be solid and hilarious. The turn order needs refinement, but I was able to print-and-play a version for 

With 2 different groups of 3 or 4 Bakers, my initial playtests revealed that several of the judging aspects are in need of rethinking. It's still a playable version, but both the Judges Sweet Spots and the Host rating on Baker types don't work in the Alpha format.

Future Development

The following sections are being re-worked for v1:

  1. Judges Sweet Spots
  2. Bakers use of Sweet Spot tables
  3. Recipe Kudos awarded for recipe description based on Baker Type
  4. Host Aid optional rule
