The way I understand the new scoring concept for season 2 is...the old way was if you had three bumpers with number of 2, 5, and 10, you'd score 17, now you score 1 (for the 2), 2 (for the 5) and 3 (for the 10) giving you 6 (plus 1 more point for completing the set so the score is 7). Is this correct?
I am also confused as to sets. For example, with Escape the Vent, how are the sets divided?
- One way is the top right 3 bumpers are one set, the 4 formulas are one set each, the 3 ramps are one set each and the bottom left 2 bumpers are one set. This would give a total of 9 sets which sounds like way too many.
- Another possible way is, all bumpers no matter where they are, are one set, all rollovers are one set, all ramps are one set and all tunnels are one set (for a total of 4 sets). This would match the rule for Rollovers (Value must match all Rollovers in set) but would not match the rule for Ramps (Value must be higher than other Ramps in set). The Ramps rule implies each ramp is its own set.
You've got scoring right. The threshold is multiples of five: 1-4 = 1 point, 5-9 = 2 points, 10-14 = 3 points, etc.
Sets are based on the icon of a target. Escape the Vent has the addition frames, which contain targets from different sets, but, like, all the targets with squid icons are in one set. All of the ramps *are* a single set, so to fill them you would need, like, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. You'd need a similar spread of numbers to fill the bumpers actually. This is a rough table.
Wow...I totally did not understand the "sets" at all as I was thinking "icon" meant the target shape and location (again thinking, for example, the top 3 bumpers were one complete set, not just 3 of the 8 bumpers in the set). Thank you so much for clarifying that. Now I will go back and replay this game with the newly understood rules and see how I do.
I hope you end up publishing a season 3 sometime soon.
Quick question about sets: targets with the same symbol are a set, and each target in a set is worth an extra point if the set is completed. My question involves when only a single target has a unique symbol, like the tunnels. Does each individual tunnel count as a set of one, thus automatically scoring an extra point just by being hit? Or is the symbol only there for the sake of referencing the bonus/unlock it triggers, meaning that a set is strictly two or more targets with the same symbol?
I've been assuming that a set is strictly multiple targets, but since the tunnels tend to be more challenging to score, often needing to be unlocked and requiring doubles to hit, I've been wondering if the intent behind each having a unique symbol is that each tunnel automatically gets the set bonus.
I think I have every table you've released. I've been busy adding them to the BGG Database. (Hope that's OK.)
Enjoy Season 2 over 'old' Season 1. However...
I see six spots around the targets, yet scoring only goes up to 4. Any way to get those extra 2 spots? This was an issue with Ski '93 that i just played...
Hey, of course that's fine. Thanks for doing that!
I think there are some effects that increase the score of a target, so I included two extra dots in case any of those doubled up. It probably won't happen with any of the extant tables, but I'd rather have too many dots than too few.
Hey, I have a question or two about Boss Battle. The ramps state "Value must be higher than all ramps in set." Does this mean the same as the older ones (that the value must be higher than the previous step in the ramp) or does it mean that the value of the next step in the ramp must exceed the total value of all previous steps in the ramp?
Likewise with the rollovers. Once I have my first number in a rollover, let's say 3, must each number equal 3? As it's worded I'm not sure if it means that the next number must equal the sum of all numbers used in the rollover. As I write this I realize that's wrong, because if you started the rollover at 1, you'd get to 16 on the penultimate rollover, leaving no way to finish the set.
Yes, it does. Helps a lot. I'd only asked with Boss Battle because it's worded differently, so I wanted to make certain. Is there going to be a Season 3?
Are there any tutorial videos for these games? I found some in spanish, but not much help. The instructions are not very clear. If someone could make a video, or point me to where there is one, or provide some more detailed instructions, that would be awesome. Thanks!
Hey, I just wanted to give a head's up that Space Marines VS Dragons color version is currently listed as a demo. I love your tables, can't wait to try Season 2!

Hey, thanks for playing the game and reaching out.
A set of one is still a set, you get the extra point!

Hi! Thanks for trying this out!
Each time you place a number in a Ramp, it must be higher than the number in any individual ramp in that set so far.
You can put any number in the first Rollover in a set. Each subsequent Rollover can only accept that same number.
Does that help?
Yes, it does. Helps a lot. I'd only asked with Boss Battle because it's worded differently, so I wanted to make certain. Is there going to be a Season 3?
At this point I'm not promising anything. Might do a cleanup of S1 to match the S2 format first.

Thanks for letting me know!
I look forward to seeing how you like it, lotta paradigm shifts with this one.
Put the your url correct of Ko-fi, if not people not know.
Every month i m sure here :)
Hey, thanks for catching that! Should be fixed now :)
