Kuggköping thoughts and ideas

I have been thinking about Kuggköping and maybe shrink the game area from 4x4 to 2x2.

I think 4x4 works great and that size is preferred in my opinion, to creat an inspiring and immersive setup. But that means that the game take up a big space and more or less requires a proper gaming table, with a lot of terrain on it.

I want this game to be very casual and should be viewed as a solo, skirmish, pick up game with some campaign and leveling elements to it.

After an early morning, long day at work, household work and playing with my kids, there is nothing casual about standing at a big gaming table for 1-2 hours. This means that gaming is always pushed to the weekends. I want to play but I can’t bring myself to stand there when all I want to do, is to sit down or go to bed.

Playing on a smaller gaming area means that the game can be played on my kitchen table sitting down or on the second floor of my house, getting some gaming in while I am putting my daughters to bed. This appeals to me a lot, and it would fold perfectly into my little pockets of time concept.

After all this is a solo game and it dose not involve that many models. Having a small game board with a few pieces of terrain on it can be moved quite easily and therefore be enjoyed where I feel most comfortable.

This is something to ponder about and playtest.
