My original goal for The Road to Ruin<\/em> was for it to be a 60-card game. \u00a0However, as development progressed, it\u00a0was apparent that the game would have to be larger. \u00a0Instead, I settled for a couple of formats for the game:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Medium pro-box from The Game Crafter<\/li>\n
  • 120 Cards from DriveThruCards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The DriveThruCards version of the game\u00a0was planned to only use cards, so the game had to work as a boxed game with dice and character tokens, or with dice cards and BYO character tokens. \u00a0With this in mind, I laid out the materials for each of the games, and also costed out\u00a0both versions. \u00a0The costs are now out of date, so don't read into these...<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    So the unreleased DriveThruCards (cards only) version of the game, has 120-ish cards:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \n\t\t\"\"\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    \n
    \n\t

    And the version for The Game Crafter is significantly different:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \n\t\t\"\"\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    \n
    \n\t

    I even did a mock-up version of the box from The Game Crafter, and compared it to the actual version in this video:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
