Anyone fancy a game of credit token TWISTER?






I have printed and cut a new set of credit tokens, using the new lay-out but during the game I quickly realized the current division isn't the best option.



1. DIGIT DIVISION
In the beginning of the game we quickly run out of '5'-s. Also the 40's weren't this great.

We discussed this subject and concluded that the best division would be the current Euro-division of 1.2.5.
(this division was developed by the Harrapan/Indus Civilzation by the way).

The euro-system uses coins of
1 - 2 - 5 cents
10 - 20 - 50 cents
1 - 2 - 5 euros
10 - 20 - 50 euro
10 - 200 - 500 euro

This is not just a random system, but statics says thay whenever paying a random price the least amount of coins will go from hand to hand and therefore is the most economic system possible.

and Harrapan Mathematics here:

we suggest to remove the 40-credit-tokens to be replace by 50 credit tokens.


2. AMOUNT DIVISION
the amount of 5's have to be increased


3. AMOUNT OF TOKENS
Currently I have used this printsheet. A sinle printsheet to use for both sides as it symmetrical. I will recreate a new printsheet for this.

I've used three double sides sheets for 9 players. So six double sheets are needed for 18 players.



4. SIZE
Right now, the size is the exact size of a ship squared. Does anyone agree this to be a good size? or is smaller preferable?

5. ADDITIONAL
One of the players came up with a suggestion to create seperate credit tokens with a different background color (let's say grey or black) to indicate you received these from Written Record or Monument.
THis makes it clearer to see where you got them from. I will see if I can implement this efficiently otherwise they won't be in for this reason.

All of these ideas sound good!

I reconsidered the above.


1. I think putting more tokens on a printsheet keeps labour and the costs lower. That's why I've created the credittokens at fairly the same size as the player tokens: 1,5 cm squared.

2. I added the option of different colored background for Written Record and Monument.

3. Hopefully, and based on calculations on last game this is the right amount of credit tokens for a single game of 9 players. So for the full game you'll need two sheets of this.

4. If you like to have your tokens printed doublesided, you can use the same sheet for the backside. I've made it symmetrical for this purpose.

5. The above scheme of 5-10-20-50 is used. No 40's are available anymore. If you don't like potential lines at miscutting you can use the second file for fore or background. for pdf's please contact me.
