:D is it based on mouseguard?? love those comics.
how did you balance the points? seems a big difference 50 vs 30. Have you had the opportunity to test it?

Yep! Mouse Guard and Redwall, though it leans a bit more into Redwall for scale and setting and such. As for balance, not a lick of it! I am a terrible time manager, and wasn't able to get a single test match in. I basically shot from the hip and hoped the numbers lined up well. My idea was that the Freebeasts only had to take 4 Objectives, while the Vermin had to wipe out the Freebeasts. The point imbalance is meant to help account for the Vermin's activation order.
That's a fair point. I would have liked to have taken the time to balance out the point cost better, and meant to, but dropped the ball. As it stands, I don't view this as a finished ruleset yet, just as enough of a skeleton to shamble its way onto the playing field. I encourage folks to rate it with that in mind :)
That said, this project was a fun thought experiment to get some ideas down on paper, and if nothing else, it is still the skeleton of a game I can build off of in the future. I'll admit I've never had a head for balance and points management, so that was unlikely to ever succeed, but I hope to expand these rules a bit closer to completion once this Game Jam is finished.
