Sitting alone in a room, I await the sound of the doorbell as the first group of testers are about to arrive.

Whilst visually the game is a long way from completion, the new prototype removes a lot of the difficulties in reading cards and identifying what pieces are.

It is a strange thing testing a game for the very first time, I'm sure everyone has their own approach but for me it really is just concept validation.

The plan was simple, get everything ready so the building could begin uninterrupted.

The City of Kings isn't just a game, it is a story waiting to be told.
