About the project
Open Season flips the fantasy cliché: players are monsters taking revenge on the adventurers who once raided their lairs. Over nine rounds, they draft cards from the Inn, build a wall of trophies from the defeated peoples and chase bonus objectives. The BGA adaptation supports both sides of the board and the optional expert tiles for seasoned players.
Challenges and Risks
- Many chained actions per turn (draft, wall placement, trophy, joker, steal, peek) orchestrated by a central action hub
- 56 expert tiles with unique effects, some requiring multi-step resolution
- Simultaneous drafting of expert tiles before the game starts
- Two board faces with different rules
- Player interaction and hidden information when stealing or peeking at the deck
