Playtesting Carnival Cantina at ITE College East

Playtesting Carnival Cantina

These photos say it all! The group down at ITE College East WERE AMAZING. Personally, I felt excited yet nervous for this playtest as this group would have been in a similar age group as I am. 

I have been explaining to Primary School Kids and was afraid my explanation would have made the session... awkward ...
 
BUT!!! This group was simply AMAZING!!!  They were very hospitable and open to the game and our team.

The playtest session was very productive and the team has received TONS of feedback/suggestions on improving the game. A group in particular gave us really good suggestions, leading us in making changes within the game play. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

So stay tune to our blog as we provide more updates!

Playtesting Carnival Cantina at Bukit View Primary School



What a great week this has been so far!!! Everyone here at I Heart Board Games! had the pleasure to play test Carnival Cantina with the kids at Bukit View Primary School! (A great bunch they were!) As always, our objectives for playtesting at schools are to receive as much feedback as possible - in order to improve our game play.

The team at I Heart Board Games! is honored to be invited to ITE East for a playtest session tomorrow! (25th August)

Be sure to stay tuned to our blog to see more pictures on our playtesting sessions!

Carnival Cantina Updates!

Hello gamers!

The entire I Heart Board Games! team has been really stoked this month because of the completion of Carnival Cantina's prototype! *throws confetti all over the office* 

Here are some sneak previews of what the game looks like! 

In a nutshell... Carnival Cantina is an entrepreneurship game whereby players set up their own lemonade stalls and learn to manage their supplies, upgrade them, make superb drinks and attract the most customers!


Each player will have a merchant character who has their own skills and expertise. Making use of the assigned merchant's ability and skill, players race to become the richest at the end of the week (7 rounds in a game). This game aims to stimulate the players' minds to think of strategies and outwit their opponents! 

And speaking of merchant characters... let's check out some very enthusiastic and sporting Singapore Polytechnic students who agreed to dress up as their favourite Carnival Cantina profiles during the SP Bazaar at The Plaza!





For more photos, do check out the album on our Carnival Cantina's Facebook page! (and remember to Like us while you're there! :D )

We've got a series of exciting events lined up for Carnival Cantina, so do watch this space for more announcements and updates! 

*P.S: Changes are currently being made to our online shop. However, if you are interested in any board games (especially our very own Weird Tales), feel free to contact us at 6879 0470 or email us at ask@iheartboardgames.com for any enquiries! 

Playtesting Carnival Cantina at Unity Primary School

Playtesting of Carnival Cantina has begun! First on our list is Unity Primary School - we played with a group of pupils who are soooooo business savvy, they gave US a run for our money!





The pupils had fun (and we had too!!) and we obtained some great feedback. Carnival Cantina will be heading down to more schools for playtesting sessions, and we hope your school (if you are a student/educator) would be one of them! (:
