Table of Content: - Meet the Clients: Michael - Meet the Clients: Emilia - Meet the Clients: Sammy Vee and Round #1 - Round #2 - Round #3 - Round #4 - Round #5 - Final Round and Scoring Floor Plan is a Roll&Write game by Marek Tupy, from the same publisher of "Welcome To...", Deep Water Games. Each player takes the role of an architect tasked with the development of a small residential area/giant villa/commune and they'll try to score as many points as possible by satisfying the design/layout/construction desires of a bunch of Clients by fitting randomly generated rooms and features into a grid the best way possible. The game is a bit crunchier than Railroad Ink (which I've LP'd on the forums recently), but it's still lightweight enough to be enjoyable by anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAiZXV4PSgM&t=6s I've heard this game is WOKE and will MAKE ME A SJW? Did you know that there isn't a single cis white male among the Client pool? Cause the chuds that reviewbombed the game on BGG will let you know otherwise! Refrain from playing this game if a small cosmetic secondary feature will drive you into a frenzy. Or if you are afraid of dice. The stern gaze of the matriarchy. The Blueprint The game is played over Rounds. Each Round we'll roll a pair of six-sided-dice; these will be used by every player to draw something new on their Blueprints (their 17x1 A Room is an enclosed space with width and lenght based on the dice roll. The type of Room is also determined by the dice roll (the player chooses one of the two possibilities when drawing the Room). Once the Room has been drawn, one square of it will have to be used to mark a label (a single letter than identifies that Room as a specific Room type).In the example, we have rolled a 2 and a 4 and drawn an 2x4 Kitchen. Alternatively, we could have drawn a 4x2 Kitchen, a 2x4 Washroom or a 4x2 Washroom. A room may not:
Features are architectural and landscaping details that can be drawn on an unoccupied space on the Blueprint; certain features (doors, windows, furnishing) can only be drawn indoors while others (trees, decks, stones) can only be placed outdoors. The dice roll determines not only the 2 types of features, but also how many items of each type will have to be drawn. When choosing this option, players must draw the full quantity of the features provided by the dice - if you are unable to do so, those features may not be drawn at all.In the example above, we have drawn 2 doors and 4 pieces of furniture inside an existing 2x6 Living Room.
Pools are a special type of item - being neither a Room nor a Feature - and are automatically created whenever you draw an outside area fully enclosed by stones. The size of a pool is the number of squares of water inside it. The one in the example above is a 6 square Pool. The Clients Each game, 3 Clients are drawn at random from a pool. Clients are shared between all the players and everyone is competing to satisfy their desires - since this is one the main ways to score points in the game. There are 3 types of Clients:
Bonuses When you score a Demand and write it onto a note on your Player Sheet, you unlock the Bonus beneath that note; when scoring a Demand, you can pick whatever empty post-it you prefer and unlock the corresponding Bonus. When you use a Bonus, you fill up the round box next to it below the post-it. There are 4 different types of Bonuses:
End of Game and Scoring The game ends in one of two cases:
Once the game is over, it's time to tally up the scores!
This is going to be a Goon vs Goon LP with weekly updates.
As you can imagine, the Client Pool is meant to add replayability to the game...but we're only going to play through a single game in the LP. Because of that, we have a few options:
Q: Can you use a bonus the instant you unlock it? A: For simplicity sake since we're playing asynch with multiple dice sets, you can only use Bonuses on a Round phase/Round after you've unlocked it (IE: if you unlock a Bonus in Round 1A you can use it in Round 1B/C or Round2+). The only exception to this rule is the "draw 2 Doors" bonus. Q: can you combo a double feature bonus and the draw 2 doors bonus into drawing 4 doors? A:No, since the "draw 2 doors" bonus isn't a dice value (the "double feature" bonus double the value of a dice). Q: what happens if you stack both double feature bonuses? Quadruple feature? A:The "double feature" bonus cannot be stacked - but you can use both "double feature" bonus in the same Round phase and double both dice instead of just one. Q: can I move the letter that identifies a Room around? Does it take space? A: the letter cannot be moved around AND it occupies the space it's in. Q: do I get to unlock a bonus when I complete a Door Bonus Demand (IE: Sammy Vee's Flagstone Entry Bonus)? A: NO, the Door Bonus Demand is tallied up at the end of the game and it does not allow you to unlock a bonus. Each Layout Client has what's called a "door bonus" Demand that involves a door+something else, is scored separately at the end of the game and is identified by the "door" symbol on the Demand and the scoring sheet: All the other Demands that can be scored and unlock a bonus all have the post-it icon instead: Q: the vector drawing tool in Tabletop Simulator is huge! A: once you select the tool, you can press the " - " button to resize it to a smaller tip! Default size on the left; resized twice with " - " on the right. Q: is a single square Deck considered "a deck" if a size is not specified in the demand? A: YES. To score the Demand below twice, you'll need all unique elements so (1 unique Living Room with at least 1 unique Door, Window and Furniture) + (1 unique Tree) + (1 unique Deck arrangement, any size) + (1 unique Stone) That Italian Guy fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Aug 17, 2021 |

To keep things interesting in the days leading to the start of the game (and to give me a chance to introduce some extra rules in a more digestible manner), I'll reveal our current Clients, one at a time, and talk about their Demands and the scoring system a bit more. The Clients are divided in 3 decks (one per type), so each game will always have 1 Build, 1 Layout and 1 Design Client. So without further ado, after shuffling the Build deck, let's meet Michael! As a Build type Client, Michael is interested in the construction of specific Rooms in specific configurations. To be honest, this is hardly a strict rule - in fact, Michael's Demands have some overlap with both Design and Layout ones. Let's have a look at what his needs are:

I was having a look at the latest version of the game and, while we won't be able to use most of the new rules (since they are extensively revised), I really like the 17x17 Bluepring (up from 17x13. The old one always felt a bit cramped, so I've uploaded a new mod to the TTS Steam Workshop that contains the assets used to play in the LP with the new 17x17 board. The mod is very creatively named Floor Plan 17x17 board and you can find it here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2415236413 That Italian Guy fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Mar 5, 2021 |

Kangra posted:No team for me, but a question. Is an interior 'courtyard' (space enclosed entirely by rooms) considered 'outside' for the purposes of the Sims/fire safety rule? There was a mention on the Discord server about building a moat around your house by enclosing it in Stones (with enough space for water), so in the spirit of Dwarf Fortress, I'll mention the fact that you could even build a recursive courtyard.

Let's continue with our Client reveal! Today we are taking a look at our Design Client. This type of Clients is mostly interested in Feature combinations, sometimes requiring specific Rooms as well.

Layout Clients are interested in complex mixture of Rooms and Features. Their second Demand is always a Door Bonus one: this is not scored when completed like the other ones but is instead tallied up at the end of the game. This means that you'll have a total of 5 Demands that can be scored to gain Bonuses and you'll have to repeat at least 1 of them if you want to trigger the End Game by completing 6 Demands. Our randomly selected Layout Client for this game is Sammy Vee! Both of his Demands are fairly straightforward:

By the way, if someone was to score 6 Demands in the next Round(s), we will still allow everyone to play out the remaining dice rolls for that set (so if someone scores their 6th Demand on Round 4B, we'll still allow everyone to play out 4C as well). The "First to finish" bonus is going to be assigned based on the "phase" the 6th Demand has been scored (so if someone scores their 6th Demand on Round 4A and someone on 4B, the player(s) scoring it on 4A will get the "First to finish" bonus points).
