Love it! I especially like that marking the eggs is tracked. Creative and simple, it's a fun quick game.
if you're planning on improving, there are some aesthetic notes,tho. like the dragons are cute, and what great art, but we don't get to see a close-up of them in a loss condition. They look like they can be scaled up to see more baby dragon. The color contrast is also a bit difficult? It's good you have different shapes for colorblind people, but something about the contrast is flat. For one thing the shinyness of the eggs makes the hatched open eggshells look raised, like they're all the same. And this is just my personal take: the sound effects are not quite enough to get me to that popping packaging bubble-sheets satisfaction state. I like that everything is milder and more chill, but again, I feel like there should be more contrast there too. Like, not terribly extreme! That would take away from your style, which I like. But just a bit more on the dial
Edit: Rewrote the whole thing. See if you like the new version.
Hey! Thank you for playing and these are accurate and relevant observations. Sadly, I'm no longer in contact with the artist I hired to do the graphics back in the day, so my options are to either leave everything as is, or to hire someone to create new visuals, which can get expensive, or to do it myself, which would be incredibly cruel to players. 😅
That said, I'll be on the lookout for better sounds. If you find some free or inexpensive ones, do let me know! I'm also thinking about allowing the player to set custom sizes for the board, and custom percentage of dragons. Would this be something you'd like to see added?
