A New Approach

Battle of the Aces is turning over a new leaf. I have finally fallen away from some of the molds that have, in a way, corrupted the game. Here is a list of them.
-Safe Zones
-2-4 player
-abundance
-# of cards
-card point values
-board size 
-type of testing
-some card changes

I will be focussing more this time around on solidifying the game and then start balancing the cards from there. This will be made easier with the new abundance and point value malleability. 

There are a couple new abilities. Many annoying things have left the game. Solidification is almost complete. Games are somewhat shorter since the board has been cut down to size. This will allow more time for testing and such. The game is still very complicated but is becoming more concrete with rules and the facts on each card.

New cards are in the process of being made. For now... Pictures will not be added to them due to lack of space. But I will figure out how to incorporate them sooner or later. Facts are now added to the front of the card. This has posed a challenge since space is a minority. I will keep printing test cards to find the best font and size for maximum space and info. 

These are my plans in order.
1). Solidify cards to a point where only minor changes need to be made (abundance, facts, and point value)
2). Test cards so all facts and collisions are accounted for and smooth
3). Fix and adjust rule book
4). Finish new cards
5). Create new board
6). Try to get the game publish or publicly tested!
