Shogun is now alpha!

[achalupka]

Interesting. I like Shogun quite a bit. But how the heck do you implement the cube tower?!

First of all thank you for coding the game, both the game and its implementation are amazing!!

After a few games, I have a question about the rules. Since it is basically a wargame, I wonder how alliances work. Are they allowed? If yes, are they supposed to be discussed openly at the table?

Technically, it is not a war game. It is not even listed as one on the boardgamegeek website. I'm curious as to why that is.
Does anybody know? Is it because the game mechanics used are euro? Anyway, it does look rather interesting. Anybody have any idea when this will reach beta phase?

Just to build off of my previous post, other war-like games like A Game of Thrones and Star Wars: Rebellion are not actually considered to be war games. Why is that? The game Root, which was actually inspired by games like AGOT and Diplomacy, IS a war game but the aforementioned other two are not. I'm curious to hear from anybody on this topic.

I'm playing my first game of Shogun in bga.
After the first round i feel strange about the tower mechanism. I wonder how the odds are calculated. In my tabletop games, the tower doesn't usually holds too many armies, but in the bga version it seems full of them.

I have the same feeling, the tower in BGA holds so many armies, it does not match the dimension or the odds of the real one.

I'm looking forward to playing this game on BGA.
Hopefully Axis & Allies follows.

How is the project progressing?

In the last new, Yupa said (july 2023) :

I submitted a request to move the game to beta. The response was that the game needs to be playtested by the publisher, which will delay the process.

Publisher said (today) :

We have no direct control over adding games to BGA, as a developer has to want to make the mod. Currently no one has contacted us about doing one, so if you want it added you would have to campaign with BGA directly for someone to make the implementation.

The developer must contact the publisher. I hope this happens. This game is amazing and the developer has done a great job.
