Components – Encounter Table Games

I’m Proudest Of…

There are lots of things about Close Encounters I’m pleased about.

For one thing, the rules are robust and snappy – I was always fairly confident about that, but it’s nice that it’s stayed true through all the revisions and tweaks that have been made.

Another good point is that the flavour text is (in the words of a playtester) “surprisingly non-cringe-inducing”. That sounds close enough to being a compliment to me; I’ll take it! I’m not putting this in the category of epic fiction, but it’s good to know that it’s making a positive contribution to the experience people have of the game.

But there are only three things that I could really say I’m proud of.

First Sets Complete

Today is another big day here at Encounter Table! With the help of NZ Post yesterday, I finally have all the components I need to assemble complete sets of Close Encounters!

Now, these are still pre-production sets – not everything is coming shrink-wrapped from a factory. But the components are all there, and the game can now be purchased.

What’s that you say? You want to see what it all looks like? Well, since you ask so nicely…
