Wow this has moved fast. A last October Tom contacted me with his idea. For two weeks straight I spent every moment on it and then spent another month play testing and making tweaks.
When I sent my version of Capo to Tom, I was sure we had a strong game. Then Tom took it and made it even better. I was sure it there was little that could be done to make it an even better game.
I was dead wrong. After the first round of blind play tests there was a whole slew of things they brought up to tweak the game here and there. I was so very impressed with the playtestesters. The really brought the game to a new level.
On group involving Bob Aarhous, left incredibly detailed notes. Some of it was so meticulous that it didn't even occur to me about what happens when X affects Y. But the bottom line is that they really really took a hard look at the game and made it better.
Another group send a recording of their thoughts afterward. That was a brilliant idea because you can convey some things that are lost in writing and that everything is immediate impressions.
The bottom line is that Tom and I are so very grateful at everyone who helped out. YOU GUYS ROCK!!
If I can find a master list of participants I'm going to post it here- or better yet, just give me a shout out by replying here or posting it on the geek.
