Thank you for the overwhelming response to our call for Oceans playtesters (nearly 1,300 submissions). I can't overstate how fortunate we feel that Oceans is creating a tidal wave of enthusiasm in the gaming community. We plan to ride the wave and enjoy it! We have already chosen 100 official playtesters. Instead of closing off playtesting entirely, we've decided to release the Print & Play files to the public. We want everyone to have the opportunity to play Oceans before it gets released in September 2019. There is a link to the PnP files and the Tabletop Simulator game below. Have fun! If you are willing to submit data about your games, that's fantastic! I'm a fiend for data and will use your feedback to help balance the card set. We are not able to compensate you for your time, but you will help us polish Oceans into a beautiful work of art. About Oceans If you don't yet know anything about Oceans, please read my blog about the game. It will give you a big-picture overview of the project and introduce you to some of its wonderful art. https://www.northstargames.com/blogs/secret-fun/call-for-oceans-playtesters Timeline I am collecting playtest data in 3 waves. The 1st wave does not include the Deep cards. November 1st - November 30th: Playtest Beta v1: Oceans without the Deep December 1st - December 31st: Playtest Beta v2: Oceans (with the Deep) January 1st - January 31st: Playtest Beta v3: Oceans (with the Deep) Print & Play Here is a link to the "Oceans Beta v1" PnP files. This link will get updated in December to point to the new "Oceans Beta v2" files. https://app.box.com/s/ot2rcqvlth5pjlrwgpddqit1iso3rqlm You will need to do the following: - Print, cut, and sleeve 80 cards - Print and cut 30 Species Boards - Print and cut 20 Scenario cards - Print the Reef and the Player Aids You will also need 248 Population tokens. You can use tokens from another game or purchase them online. - 120 Population tokens of one color - 32 Extra Population tokens of another color for the final turn. - 32 Population tokens of another color (3-player games) - 32 Population tokens of another color (4-player games) - 32 Population tokens of another color (5-player games) When you play Oceans, you will add an additional set of Population tokens for each additional player. We've color coded them to make the setup easy, but if you're willing to count tokens at the start of each game then they can all be the same color. Tabletop Simulator If you own Tabletop Simulator, here is the link to Oceans Beta v1: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1547571852 Here is the link if you don't own Tabletop Simulator and you would like to purchase it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/Tabletop_Simulator/ Log Your Playtest of Beta v1 Use this link if you're willing to share data about your game. This will help us refine Oceans into a beautifully polished pearl. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7Bc-KTcWztelOudT8-udFfSGs9aG1mngcIiNyxcByOyl-0w/viewform?usp=sf_link Notes Oceanic Biology Games in the Evolution series always look to nature for inspiration, but the science theme is secondary to the fun. This is a game afterall. Furthermore, the rules for Oceans are more streamlined than Evolution and CLIMATE, making it increasingly difficult to capture a vivid theme. We did our best to create an interconnected oceanic ecosystem full of mystery and surprise, but there is always room for improvement. Feel free to share simple ideas that help communicate the theme as long as they don't complicate the gameplay with too many exceptions. Fantasy The Deep will have nearly 100 unique traits, some of which are pure Fantasy. We will not be playing with the Deep for this first wave of testing. The Deep will be introduced in the 2nd (December) and 3rd wave of testing (January). Direct Conflict There is direct conflict in this game. Some of your species might go extinct. Be prepared! 6-Player Games Go for it! You¡¯ll need additional Population tokens for the final turn of the game. I'd love to hear if it takes too long or any other problems arise from the extra player. Question Section Please look in this section before reaching out to me to see if your question has already been addressed. I will be adding more questions to this list as they come in. - Can we talk about the playtesting in social media? Sure! - Is there a file for the Score Screens? No. Please use bags or screens from some other game (perhaps Evolution). Comments or Questions Submit your questions, concerns, or comments here.
