Working on a new version

I've got a major revision of "The Case that will make the Headlines" in my notebooks. I've got yet to playtest it, but the prompts are coming well.

That text is in french, cause that's my language and the playtests of the new version will be in french. But I think I'll post the new cards here in both english and french soon.

With the new prompts coming (more focused on some themes like Ambition at work, Seeking the Truth, Obsession), I'm also going to redesign the game. I don't like the current design anymore. It was made quickly to jump on the Jam.

As I'm currently playing with the Affinity suite, I've made a mockup for a possible new style for the cards. Here it is :

I like that aspect that reminds me the old newspaper. But that's it : old newspaper. The game is also intended to other kind of journalism, and I fear that this design might direct too much the players towards one kind of story, and let the others aside (TV news, paparazzi, sports ...).

What do you think ?

I also think that this design is not so printer-friendly for people looking to print the game themselves. If I go through Print-on-demand option, it doesn't matter, but even for my physical playtests, it will be too ink-consuming.

So, I've got a basis, but I need to work on it. More news in the coming months!
