Firstly, congrats on tackling your first game jam (and doing it alone! I was not so brave and teamed up xD)

Before I mention anything about the game itself I must say that it is a great idea to publish the dev logs, I haven't seen anyone else do it and it is both a great organizing tool for the dev and really nice for the players who can see the progression and thought process behind the game development.

The game itself is really good. it is always great to have a "how to play" page especially for games with more complexity or mechanics. The art is really "smooth" for lack of a better word haha, just feels easy on the eyes and everything matches. The audio really seals the deal and gives the whole experience the finishing touch.

The game is simple but very fun and can be replayed multiple times, over and over without feeling repetitive, and is very impressive for a game made in one week

Really nice entry and again congrats for finishing your first game jam :D

It's cool to see a fully designed "board" game created during the jam. I could definitely see this being an interesting one to play against someone at an actual table!

Edit: Oh I also really appreciated that you made a devlog for each day, I'll have to keep that idea in mind for future jams

Great game please rate my game

Great puzzle game — it was a totally novel experience for me!

(Our game is still a bit short on ratings, so if you've got a sec to leave one we'd really appreciate it :D)

Really interesting idea for a puzzle game, the art and music also fits the game. The game is pretty easy to understand and I I beat it pretty easily. A harder difficulty would be great so I can try to strategize a bit more!

He, this is a nice game like the puzzle you made. Art is super NICE. Sound and audio fit the feel so also job well done.

some tips to improve the game if you have the time because its a fun concept:

I missed the hover tooltip i had to think of wat buildings i had placed. Also when a new building appears i wanted to know what is up with that. Just a bit to help me understand it better the first go. Also some VFX dust when placing and screen shake could do a lot to give your game more juice.

This is a great game! I loved all the sounds when you pick up a card or put a building down. and the art for all the buildings looks really good too. Well done!

Very nice and interesting town management puzzle! Art is very cozy, and gameplay is intuitive and with just right amount of explanation on every building. Well done!

Very nice puzzler! I like the twist on city-builder. I wish I knew what level of influence a building would grant before I place it. Also, two turns does not feel like a lot of time to balance out this influence. I only had a tie once.

Very nice art! I like the hand drawn style - the buildings and guilds looked all unique - this is an impressive amount of art for a game jam. Overall, very nice game - I'd be interested to know if you plan to continue on it.

Very neat idea, not sure I've played a game quite like this before! Obviously this was for a jam so the current game is pretty small, but what you have here looks and feels very polished. I could see this being expanded in many ways to become a full game with a lot of replayability. Great job!

Interesting idea! I think its too easy to win by playing 2 of each faction each turn. Maybe having them automatically build up power once placed or putting more stringent round win criteria in would have added more weight to the decisions for what to build and where. But nice job regardless!

I scored a 45. Love the old-fashioned high-score-based game! WE GOTTA BRING THEM BACK!! 

The art and shadows look very appealing.

Really fun. I admit I missed having a playable tutorial to get a better grasp of things, but that’s mostly just because I’m a bit dense, haha. I realize that, given the timeframe, it probably wasn't feasible.

I really liked the visuals, too. I can easily picture this project growing, with other categories of buildings. Maybe a 2.5D map view? Very promising.

I really like these kinda game's on game jams because they are always so innovative , and this game is one of those I think the art was clean and nice , the influence mechanic I don't think has a strong "influence" on the game because its kinda easy to just tie the three factions or just space out their influence during the 6 rounds I think maybe there should be more rounds or the influence required for a faction to win decrease from 3 to 2

but yeah , I think the different buildings for each faction was a neat mechanic and I liked the unique function for each of them

also I just checked , you wrote a devlog for every day ? that's awesome , I haven't seen anyone do that in a game jam ! for your first jam this is a wonderful game you've made , keep up the good work and goodluck

I loved the simple visuals! Could’ve use some UI improvements as I had some trouble identifying what I already have on the map, etc. Fun game!

I think you were very clever with your interpretation of the theme, as the trusting and distrusting are central to the game loop, not just the aesthetic.

It will work amazing as a board game in my opinion.

Fun game !
