Today was the D-Day & I must say that things went very well. The moment we opened our boards, the interest level simply took off as people were stunned by the quality of design (More kudos to Priyanka, I guess). Even better was to follow, when
Arjun & myself talked about some of the features of the game, there were 25 people out of a total of 40 who wanted to platy DealStreet immediately. After 2 hours of playing the game, where most people loved the game, especially the deal-making, the bankruptcy proceedings and the volatile stock market. At the end, there were another 8-9 people waiting to play, but I guess that can wait till next week.
On the downside - we still need to do more work on the rule document. Its still requires too much of mine and Arjun's intervention to explain the game. Thats all for today - a very good day overall
