I see your Czege and Beltrán in the map, etc. Nice. As a UK reader though I'd struggle with applying childhood memories to the US-ish layout of the place. Is there much to stop me using a map of my nearest city, say? (I mean, try finding a block structure at https://www.visitchichester.org/sites/default/files/CITY_CENTRE_MAP.pdf - but I could see the cards still working with the shapes afforded here.)

Not sure if I'm shuffling the different backs of the memory cards together - it looks like there's people, events, places to remember, right? I'm thinking you do, but that means you can't use the information of the different backs to affect what you pick up; in which case, why have different backs? So other players can see what sort of memories you might play? (This is an interested question, not a rhetorical way of saying don't do it.)

I like the character generation very much. Zombie World does a similar thing, but this works it in with the game's tone (which is nicely consistent).

You're very clear in instructions! particularly in the facilitator's notes. 

I'm late to adding notes - hence brevity! hope it doesn't come across rude - and I see there's lots below you've already seen. Not going to repeat any of them, except I think I want to endorse the part about wanting to see something happen to the given map as well as the creation of the new sketch. 

bravo, and thanks for sharing.

I really like the idea of charting a map of a childhood world on top of  actual place. If I were to play in in person, I think I would even prefer using a vellum or other transparent paper to overlay the two at the end.

Also, looking at the character cards, I see a theme of adulthood making you jaded and less imaginative. I think as a part of the second day, before the epilogue it would be interesting for each player to check out one place from the kingdom in the city - say what is there now. Will the characters stay jaded and be defacto about the real world, or will their encounter previous day allow them to see some beauty and magic in the mundane?

I like the graphic design of the game, but I think it could be pushed a bit further. One thing that I noticed is the lack of variance between child/adult cards. Maybe create a different card back, use different fonts (a serious one for adults, a playful for kids) or a different layout? I think the color difference alone is not enough. I think the guidebook could be made bigger in size. The card sized pages work ok, but bigger would allow you to make the rules even clearer.

Recallers is striking both for the inspiration that moves it, and for the care that was put in turning that inspiration into a game - the language, the graphics, and the many lovely easter eggs hidden throughout. 

Play procedures are streamlined, and simple - the focus is really more in what the prompts and questions add to the shared imagined space at the table, and of course in what players bring themselves. That said, they're clear, well explained and seem very functional. I like the way the guidebook is broken down so that it can be read during play, presenting information when it's needed. I also really liked the option of either giving out pre-written text to read aloud, or a summary to guide people who want to ad-lib it. It's also useful to have a summary of the procedures on the game map - and neat to have it in the Legend! 

After reading it through once, I only had one outstanding question, but checking back I quickly found the answer; I'd defintely feel confident bringing this game to the table. 

I think the game's tone is its strongest asset: the premise, the way play is slowly ushered in, and the prompts on the character and memory cards all serve to kindle and capture a real sense of childlike wonder. The prompts on memory cards will strike on actual childhood memory for many players, I believe - I know they did it for me. At the same time, the questions asked by the cards really help reflect on the paracosm imagery and bring something more to it. 

The way the game introduces, navigates and, in cases, excludes more troubling content - like conflict, sadness or difficulty - is also very smart. While I love playing intense games that confront dark themes heads on,  Recallers thrives on a different tone, and makes deliberate, conscious choices to help preserve that. Conflict and sadness are not entirely excised away either, but they're introducted in very nuanced, thematically appropriate ways. 

This is very much a game where the concept of "magic circle" applies, and I can see it creating a really special space and atmosphere at the table. 

Great game overall! My comments/questions:

1. Love the city map! Also, I really like the reality/imagination split of the two maps. Very clever.
2. It's nice that the rules are formatted so that they can be read while playing
3. How many players is this game for? I would imagine at least two? Or maybe this could be played solo?
4. From the POV of printing the cards to play (if you're not sure you're not going to play the game more than once), it would be nice to have a mostly-white version. And maybe a mostly-white version of the city map, too (that might be less of a problem to print because it's only one). Also, having many cards per page would save lots of paper!
5. What does the back of the cards mean, if anything?
6. I haven't gone through every card, but the non-trivial sample I read looked very inspiring, great work!
