BBG.con 2007 Prototype Testing Sign-up

As you may already know, I'm prone to bringing prototypes of games made by me and/or my friends. Some of them were played last year at BGG.con, and some even have BGG entries. I'm going to list the prototypes I'm bringing so that people who find them interesting can "sign up" to play them, and I'll organize a time for each if I can.

I'm also going to try and organize a general prototype testing session for people to test games brought by other designers as well.

Since these are prototypes, you'll have the opportunity to give the designers feedback on what you thought was good or bad in the game. This is your chance to be a part of the development process!

If you are bringing a prototype of your own, feel free to add it to the list with a description of the type of game, length, and etc.

Terra Prime - Space exploration/resource management game for 3-5 players. Something of a Twilight Imperium Lite perhaps, lasting 1.5-2 hours. This one's gone through some changes recently, and still isn't quite done, though testers seem to like it anyway. Maybe you can help me put the finishing touches on it!

2) Dave Eisen (dkeisen)

Man, I wish I was going to BGG.con! I played Terra Prime at each of the last two KublaCons in San Francisco (in fact, I took the photo) and enjoyed it very much. It's a very interesting combination of exploration and pickup-and-deliver, and the theme is strong.

Brian & Cara Conry... is that 1 person, or 2? (and if 1, which?)

See you in Dallas!

All For One - Athos, Porthos, Aramis, d'Artagnan, Rochefort, and MiLady DiWinter move around Paris, fighting duels and completing missions to earn the favor of the King and Cardinal. Players earn Favors throughout the game while helping the characters advance various story lines. Bonus points are scored at the end when players reveal their secret story line goals. The winner is the player who's earned the most Favor!

All For One is a pickup/deliver game for 3-5 players. Players are not tied to any specific character, rather each turn you choose which character to activate and then take actions with that character to complete missions and advance story lines.

I've played this one a couple of times, too. It's lighter than Terra Prime, but again very strongly themed and with an excellent shared-character/hidden-identity mechanic. Fun!

Homesteaders - an Auction and Resource Management game in which players bid on the opportunity to build certain types of buildings, then spend resource cubes to build one of several buildings of that type. The buildings confer abilities, income, and points; some automatically and some requiring a Worker.

The game lasts 10 rounds, with each round consisting of an Auction phase followed by a Building phase. After the last round,
