Logging map info

Post by Gooorn »

It's would be great if map view (not only the fact that you mapped a goal card) was logged in game history. Just same as checked players role logged in Sab2.

Good suggestion to log map info, but tricky to implement with just text unless it can be defined well.
A simple "gold!"/"rock..." at "top"/"middle"/"bottom" goal card would be a reasonable compromise.
e.g. 1
- PlayerUsername uses a map to peek at a goal card (bottom)
- You get to see the bottom goal card: rock...
e.g. 2
- PlayerUsername uses a map to peek at a goal card (middle)
- You get to see the middle goal card: gold!

Newer games log images but not sure how that works with older games like Saboteur.

Good idea, although I also enjoy feeling silly for forgetting as soon as I place the card back (it's stupid I know).

Another way could be to keep the card revealed until end of the round, but whatever the solution I fear it's diverging from the original game.

Cheers,
Y.

A little image in game log would be the best for bad memory players like me.

What I would rather have, is the card just stays visible once you've looked at it.

Another improvement could be if there it showed how many of each break was used so far. I really don't like looking back through the game log for anything.
