That's pretty much exactly how I think about it. Once you get comfortable with the game overdrive is like 2x the versatility. To me all competitive games should always be overdrive, however classic is great for learning the game. Glad you got a copy! Once you get it in person I recommend trying to g...

Hey gang,

What do we think? Do you prefer Overdrive or Classic mode? Why?

I hear the people commenting about liking the old version I also liked the flexibility. But my goal here is learning curve. There were simply too many people who didn’t know they could overdrive basic actions. It’s in the rules it’s in the walkthrough and still it was very hard for players to unders...

That’s fair I originally implemented it because I figured people wouldn’t want to be stuck on a market with all yellow for example, but it seems it’s generally better to have a bad market rather than have a bunch of good cards spawn for your opponent

Hey great comments, I apologize about the timing of the rule change but we have limited resources to work with so had to strike while the iron is hot so to speak from a development side. In terms of widening the gap - I’m more worried about people not even knowing the rule exists which has been prev...

Hey Everyone, A few changes are coming to TacTile with a goal of making the game more intuitive and helping players unlock the deeper strategy of TacTile. Small Changes 1. Overdrive Action has been renamed 'CONVERT' to more closely align with its purpose 2. You can no longer overdrive basic actions ...

If there are ever 5 of the same color or the same type of card (move, gain, push) in the market it triggers an automatic reset. The idea is it keeps the market from stagnating and helps move the game along. I sometimes use it tactically and buy or avoid buying specific cards to potentially trigger/n...

It’s kind of the risk/reward of tactile - more concentration = more efficiency (especially with overdrive) but easier defense. It comes down to board and positioning which is better in the moment. That being said I typically always recommend concentration for new players because it’s easier for them...

I’ve never played live games on BGA but in over the table tournaments I plan to use chess clocks with fixed time per player (15-30 minutes should be good) that’s the only way I see it working because you can have fast turns in the beginning but the late game is always longer because you have more mo...

Great clickbait title

Yea I got knocked out by timing too haha full disclosure it was my first BGA tournament. Swiss type sounds good - I think 3 days per game should be enough? Someone made 1000 Bournes which looks like a good format if that one turns out well I’ll make another like it
