That adds pretty noticeable friction over the pre-printed cards, so I think the pre-printed cards make a lot of sense to have.
Note that the game already comes with 25 colored tiles (red / blue / white) which are used to cover the game board, so what you describe could be easily done with the existing game by putting those 25 tiles in a bag, shaking it, and having the spymasters secretly draw all 25 and fill in a grid in the order they draw them, and then proceed with the game as normal from there. I doubt many people would want to bother though.
> that is if the spymasters are not informed of the position for the other team
The spymasters both know all information, so it is indeed even simpler.
- cauch 2y agoYou are right, it is more cumbersome, but it is worth doing it if people have played a lot and they start to unconsciously remember the "weird pattern", which is basically ruining the game. I would say the printed card can be used when that risk is low.
- Skeime 2y agoThe way I would do it: Get a board with a grid of 5x5 insets (like a Big Boggle board), a screen to hide it, 25 colored marbles (9 blue, 8 red, 1 black, 7 white), and a bag. Shake the marbles in the bag and empty it onto the board, shuffling it around until each marble is in a hole. (Add another red marble if you want to alternate the starting team without switching their color and remove a red or blue marble each time.)
